Eaton VGE1TS180000 Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Certified
Part Number: VGE1TS180000
Quick Summary
VGE1TS180000 is a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector for harsh industrial control systems. When wiring safety-critical equipment, engineers need a reliable connector that preserves fire integrity without compromising connectivity. This design delivers UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, and explicit fire & smoke certification. The straight shielded backshell with sealing gland and aluminium shell (size 18) provides robust EMI shielding and ingress protection in constrained spaces. By combining proven performance with ease of installation, it reduces risk, accelerates compliance, and lowers lifecycle costs for control panels and safety systems.
