Eaton VGE1TE221400M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke
Part Number: VGE1TE221400M
Quick Summary
VGE1TE221400M is a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector for harsh industrial environments in machine controls. Manufacturers and integrators struggle with ingress protection, sealing integrity, and complex compliance during panel builds. It also supports UL94 V0 fire rating, RoHS and REACH compliance, providing safety and eco-responsible sourcing for regulated industries. With a 90° shielded backshell and an aluminium shell in 22 shell size, it expedites installation and improves EMI shielding in control cabinets. This combination of rugged construction and proven safety features helps reduce field failures and supports faster project timelines.

Fire and smoke certified bayonet mating with a sealing gland and shielding reduces safety risk and post-install rework. This translates to faster cabinet builds and lower warranty costs through reliable flame retardancy and EMI containment. In automation panels and robotics bays, the robust seal keeps dust and smoke ingress at bay while maintaining signal integrity across harnesses. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating and a 22 shell size delivers mechanical robustness and corrosion resistance. The result is longer service life in harsh environments and less maintenance. Engineers appreciate predictable mating cycles and a compact footprint in tight enclosures across industrial machines and aerospace ground equipment. The 90° backshell angle simplifies cable routing, enabling clean panel layouts and improved EMC performance. Quick-mount benefits reduce installation time and software debugging by ensuring consistent shield continuity in high-density cabinets. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray tolerance demonstrate reliability in extreme conditions. These specs align with RoHS and REACH requirements, reinforcing sustainability and regulatory alignment. For customers migrating from unshielded connectors, this part offers a drop-in upgrade path without redesigning harnesses. Mating with VGE1 family plugs and sockets provides compatibility across Eaton Souriau connectors, enabling standardized harnessing and spare-part efficiency.

FAQs
The VGE1TE221400M is designed as part of the VGE1 family with a 22 shell size and 2214 layout, featuring a shielded backshell and socket (female) contacts. It mates with compatible VGE1-FER1 components to provide a consistent, shielded interface across panels and field installations, simplifying spares strategy and reducing integration risk in automation cabinets.
Key specs include a 37 mm product length, 79.9 mm height, 104.9 mm width, 162.6 g weight, 22 shell size, and 90° backshell. It is rated for operating temperatures from -40 °C to 100 °C, with a salt spray tolerance of 500 hours. It carries UL94 V0 fire rating and RoHS/REACH compliance, supporting safe operation in harsh industrial environments.
Yes. The aluminium shell with shielding and the 90° backshell design provide robust EMI protection and reliable mating under vibration. The bayonet coupling ensures rapid, repeatable connections, while the fire-safe construction and corrosion resistance help maintain performance in aerospace control panels and rugged ground equipment.
The connector is fire and smoke certified with UL94 V0, and it complies with RoHS and REACH. These certifications matter for safety, regulatory compliance, and sustainability—reducing risk in critical systems such as industrial automation, safety-critical controls, and aerospace ground equipment.
The ROI comes from reduced wiring rework, lower maintenance due to improved ingress protection and EMI shielding, and faster installation. The rugged aluminium shell and shielded backshell also extend service life in harsh environments, lowering total cost of ownership in control cabinets, robotics, and industrial automation deployments.
