VGE1VE181901M Eaton Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Cert
Part Number: VGE1VE181901M
Quick Summary
VGE1VE181901M Eaton bayonet connector is a fire and smoke certified electrical coupling designed for harsh industrial environments. Engineers often struggle to source certified connectors that meet fire-safety regs without sacrificing space, ease of installation, or reliability. This VGE1 family device carries UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification and RoHS/REACH compliance, giving you safety and regulatory confidence. With an 18-position layout, 90° backshell, and black anodized aluminium shell, it delivers compact, durable connectivity for panel-mounted systems. By reducing harness complexity and enabling quick mating, it supports lower maintenance costs and faster time-to-market for automation projects.

FAQs
Install by aligning the 18-position socket (female) with the mating plug and twist the bayonet to lock. Ensure the 90° backshell is oriented to provide routing clearance for the cables and seal with the sealing gland to maintain environmental protection. Verify the 30 mm depth fits your panel recess and that the black anodized aluminium shell remains free of impact damage during assembly.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and carries UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification, along with RoHS and REACH compliance. It also withstands salt spray for up to 500 hours, making it suitable for challenging environments such as exposed automation equipment and cold/heat cycling areas.
Yes. The 18-position layout enables high-density wiring, and the 90° backshell simplifies harness routing in tight panels. The aluminium, black anodized shell provides durability, while RoHS/REACH compliance helps meet regulatory requirements for industrial control environments.
This connector is fire and smoke certified with UL94 V0 flammability rating. It also complies with RoHS and REACH environmental standards, supporting safer installations in safety-critical control panels and machinery.
The rugged aluminium shell with sealing gland backshell reduces ingress risks, lowering maintenance and replacement costs. The high-density 18-position layout minimizes wiring complexity, saving assembly time and reducing panel footprint, which translates to faster deployment and lower total cost of ownership in automation projects.
