Eaton VGE1TE320000 Bayonet Conn - Fire & Smoke Certified
Part Number: VGE1TE320000
Quick Summary
VGE1TE320000 bayonet connector is a shielded, straight backshell interconnect designed for rugged electrical assemblies. This solution reduces the risk of seal failure and misalignment in vibration-heavy applications by combining a sealing gland with a robust backshell. Engineers will appreciate the product’s RoHS, REACH compliance and UL94 V0 fire & smoke rating, which support safety-critical installations. In addition to meeting stringent regulatory requirements, the aluminum shell and black anodized plating provide durability and corrosion resistance. For system integrators, this translates to longer service life, easier maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership, especially in tight-space layouts and panel-mounted wiring harnesses where reliability matters most.

FAQs
The VGE1TE320000 is a straight, shielded backshell bayonet connector that aligns with the VGE1-FER1 family. It uses a 32 shell size and a 52 mm length, enabling secure mating, reliable shielding, and consistent sealing in engineered harnesses. This compatibility supports seamless upgrades and common spares across the family, reducing stock complexity and installation time.
This connector carries a UL94 V0 fire and smoke rating, and RoHS and REACH compliance. These certifications support safety-critical installations in regulated environments, simplify audits, and reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties. The combination of fire/smoke certification with low-halate materials aligns with modern industrial safety and environmental standards.
Yes. The 90° backshell variant enables compact cable routing and easier assembly in confined spaces, improving serviceability and reducing assembly time in control panels, machine rooms, and automated lines. It also helps route cables without bending strain, preserving shielding integrity and extending connector life in vibration-prone environments.
Ideal for industrial automation, machine building, and safety-critical control systems, especially where fire and smoke certification is essential. Its corrosion resistance, wide operating temperature range, and shielding make it suitable for outdoor enclosures, washdown zones, and coastal facilities, while meeting RoHS and REACH requirements.
The combination of robust shielding, sealing, and high-temperature tolerance reduces fault rates due to EMI and environmental ingress, lowering downtime. The long service life and regulatory compliance ease preventive maintenance and audits, delivering lower total cost of ownership in high-demand manufacturing and process industries.
