Eaton VGE1VS1800013 Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Cert.
Part Number: VGE1VS1800013
Quick Summary
Eaton VGE1VS1800013 bayonet connector provides fire-rated, reliable wiring connections for aerospace, manufacturing, and automation systems. In harsh environments with heat and smoke risk, conventional connectors struggle to maintain seals and integrity. This product line carries fire and smoke certification, while broader approvals such as CE marking and IP-rated enclosures may apply depending on the installation. For engineers and procurement teams, the combination of certified safety and a rugged aluminium housing translates to lower risk, easier approvals, and longer service life. This helps project teams accelerate sourcing, simplify documentation, and minimize change orders in critical systems. The data sheet highlights precise dimensions and metallurgy for easy QA.

The VGE1-FER1 series integrates a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector, delivering safety-compliant interconnects for control panels, process cabinets, and automation nodes. The rapid bayonet coupling reduces install time and vibration-induced wear, improving reliability in harsh environments. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance and structural durability, extending service life in damp or chemically challenging facilities. The compact 52 mm length and 30 x 30 mm footprint keep panel real estate minimal while maintaining strength, and a 62.5 g weight supports easy handheld installation and reduced overall system weight. Straight sealing gland backshell size 18 simplifies cable ingress and sealing, contributing to faster assembly and consistent IP/seal performance. Compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 family ensures standardization across control cabinets, reducing parts diversity and maintenance costs. Bayonet coupling offers vibration resilience and quick mating, while industry-standard finishes help with QA and long-term availability. In practice, engineers report fewer field faults and smoother changeouts in automated lines with this connector.

FAQs
To install, align the mating halves and engage the bayonet coupling until the latch confirms a secure connection. Ensure the straight sealing gland backshell size 18 is correctly seated to maintain enclosure sealing integrity. Verify overall dimensions (52 mm length, 30 x 30 mm footprint) and confirm the black anodized aluminium shell is clean and undamaged before commissioning.
The VGE1VS1800013 is designed around fire and smoke certification, providing a safer interconnect in safety-critical applications. Its aluminium shell with durable black anodized plating resists corrosion and mechanical wear, helping maintain integrity under exposure to heat and potential smoke. Always verify site-specific regulatory requirements such as CE marking and enclosure IP ratings for the full system.
Yes. The VGE1VS1800013 is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and shares the same mating interface, backshell size, and general footprint. This enables standardization across control cabinets and panel assemblies, reducing variant proliferation and simplifying procurement, stocking, and field replacements.
Plan for a 52 mm product length/depth and a 30 mm by 30 mm footprint with a unit weight of 62.5 g. The straight sealing gland backshell is size 18, and the shell is aluminium with a black anodized finish. Accurate CAD models and assembly drawings should be used to ensure proper clearance and mating alignment.
The bayonet coupling reduces installation time and improves vibration resilience, lowering labor costs during assembly and service. Fire and smoke certification reduces risk and inspection overhead in safety-critical lines, while the aluminium shell and durable finish decrease corrosion-related maintenance. Overall, expect lower downtime and longer service life in harsh industrial environments.
