Eaton VGE1TE282100M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke
Part Number: VGE1TE282100M
Quick Summary
VGE1TE282100M is a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector designed for rugged electrical assemblies in harsh industrial and aerospace environments. Engineers often struggle to maintain seal integrity and regulatory compliance in high-heat conditions or during fire events. This family features UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, and explicit fire-and-smoke certification to help you meet stringent safety standards. With an aluminium shell and shielded backshell, it streamlines installation, reduces maintenance costs, and improves overall system reliability in demanding applications such as control cabinets, machinery, and aerospace equipment.

FAQs
The VGE1TE282100M is designed as part of the Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 series and uses a 28-position layout with a socket (female) configuration. It pairs with matching 28-position high-reliability connectors and shielded backshell assemblies, enabling straightforward integration into control cabinets, harnesses, and modular automation systems.
Key specs include a 46 mm depth, 81 mm height, 120.4 mm width, and a weight of 251 g. It features a 90° backshell, aluminium shell, and 28-position layout with black anodized plating. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 100 °C and a salt spray rating of 500 hours, with RoHS and REACH compliance.
Yes. The VGE1TE282100M is fire and smoke certified, carrying UL94 V0 flammability protection and explicit fire-and-smoke certification. It also complies with RoHS and REACH, reducing regulatory risk for applications in environments where flame resistance and smoke emission controls are mandatory.
Shielding and a sealing gland with a female grommet deliver robust EMI protection and environmental sealing, reducing interference and ingress. The 90° backshell eases routing in tight spaces, while the aluminium shell and black anodized finish offer abrasion and corrosion resistance, resulting in faster installations and longer service life in rugged environments.
The connector’s durable aluminium shell, shielded backshell, and sealing gland minimize wear and ingress, lowering maintenance frequency. With RoHS/REACH compliance and fire-and-smoke certification, total cost of ownership is reduced by fewer replacements, safer operation, and easier regulatory audits in demanding industries such as automation, energy, and aerospace.
