Eaton VGE1TS181910M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke
Part Number: VGE1TS181910M
Quick Summary
VGE1TS181910M is a shielded bayonet connector that provides reliable power and signal transfer in fire and smoke certified enclosures. Engineers often struggle with bulky, non-sealing backshells that fail under heat, rain, or EMI, leading to downtime. It features RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 ratings with a straight shielding backshell for robust environmental protection. Combined with an aluminium shell and 18-layout, it streamlines installation and delivers predictable performance in control cabinets and machines. The design supports straight backshell, sealing gland, and a female grommet, helping maintain integrity across temperature ranges. For procurement teams, its compact weight and measured dimensions reduce enclosure footprint and assembly time, improving project ROI.

FAQs
Plan for a straight backshell with the sealing gland and female grommet to ensure optimal environmental sealing. The 18-position layout fits compact automation panels, and the socket (female) contacts simplify mating with compatible plug components. Maintain proper clearance for shielding to preserve EMI performance and ensure robust enclosure integrity during installation.
It carries RoHS and REACH compliance, plus UL94 V0 flammability rating and fire & smoke certification. These certifications help meet European and North American regulatory requirements, simplify safety approvals, and minimize rework during audits in industries like machinery, robotics, and process automation.
Yes. The aluminium shell with a straight shielded backshell provides effective EMI shielding, while the sealing gland and female grommet protect against dust and moisture. The operating range of -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance further ensure reliability in outdoor installations, wash-down areas, and high-dust manufacturing floors.
The connector measures 96.6 mm in length with a 30 mm width and 30 mm height, and weighs 80.7 g. It uses a layout of 18 with a socket (female) contact configuration, and features an aluminium shell with a black anodized finish for durability and ease of identification in panel assemblies.
Its compliant certifications reduce validation and audit time, while the shielded backshell and sealing gland lower EMI-related failures. The lightweight aluminium shell and compact footprint shorten assembly time and enclosure space, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and faster project delivery across industrial automation deployments.
