Eaton VGE1TS280010 Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Cert.
Part Number: VGE1TS280010
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 fire and smoke certified bayonet connector delivers robust, reliable junctions for safety-critical control cabinets. Engineers constantly wrestle with meeting fire and smoke safety compliance without compromising shielding or fit in compact panels. It supports RoHS and REACH compliance with fire and smoke certification and UL94 V0 flammability rating, ensuring regulatory compatibility. In production environments, this sealed backshell improves EMI shielding and simplifies procurement with a single, durable solution. It also reduces spare-part overhead by consolidating connectors in one family. Designers appreciate predictable mating and locking behavior of the VGE1 bayonet coupling in busy assembly lines. This reduces field failures and warranty costs over the product lifecycle.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fire and smoke certification with RoHS, REACH and UL94 V0 ensures regulatory compliance across global plants, reducing risk of non-conformant equipment and costly rework. This translates to faster regulatory approvals and smoother audits in safety-critical automation environments. The VGE1-FER1 family’s certification supports durable operation in control cabinets where compliance matters most in industries like packaging, material handling, and process automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Straight shields and a sealing gland provide superior EMI/RFI shielding and environmental protection, lowering noise-related faults and increasing system reliability in densely wired panels. Use this in steel-structured machines and outdoor installations where shielding and sealing reduce maintenance calls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Aluminum shell with black anodized plating offers corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, extending lifecycle in harsh plants and maritime environments. This reduces replacement costs and downtime for panel connectors in long-run automation projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 28 shell size and 120.4 mm length enable compact, space-efficient wiring in tight control panels, improving installation speed and reducing enclosure footprint in retrofits. Use in legacy equipment upgrades where panel real estate is limited. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range from -40 to 100 °C supports outdoor and high-heat installations, avoiding temperature-related performance issues and warranty claims in industrial facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 500-hour salt spray resistance ensures longevity in corrosive environments, lowering maintenance frequency and spare-part inventory for plants with wash-down or coastal exposure.

FAQs
The VGE1TS280010 is designed within the Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 family, featuring a straight backshell and shielding that align with standard bayonet coupling systems. It is compatible with VGE1 series mating interfaces, simplifying replacement in existing panels and enabling straightforward upgrades without changing downstream connectors or harnesses.
This connector carries fire and smoke certification and UL94 V0 flammability rating, along with RoHS and REACH compliance. These certifications support regulatory approvals for safety-critical equipment in automation, process control, and safety cabinets, reducing compliance risk across global operations.
Key environmental specs include a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance, with an aluminium shell and black anodized plating. These specs translate to reliable performance in harsh environments, outdoor installations, and wash-down zones common in industrial facilities.
The straight backshell simplifies cable routing and reduces space requirements inside enclosures, speeding up assembly and maintenance. This design minimizes misalignment risks during mating and allows quicker harness re-termination, ultimately lowering downtime during servicing and upgrades.
The combination of shielding, sealing gland, corrosion resistance, and wide temperature tolerance delivers higher reliability and longer service life. Fewer field failures, less frequent replacements, and reduced spare parts inventory contribute to lower total cost of ownership in automated systems and safety-critical applications.
