Eaton VGE1VS180011 Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Certified

Fire and smoke certification is embedded in the VGE1VS180011, delivering UL94 V0 compliance. This reduces safety risk and streamlines regulator-ready documentation for panel builds and OEM assemblies. In industrial automation, rail, and aerospace interconnects, the certification provides confidence that cabling and connectors will perform under fire-related conditions, aiding customer approvals and incident mitigation. Sealing gland backshell enhances environmental sealing, guarding against dust, moisture, and corrosive contaminants. The result is improved reliability in harsh production floors, outdoor installations, and coastal facilities. This feature supports longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs, translating to higher up-time and lower total cost of ownership for automated lines and equipment installations. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers a light yet sturdy housing with excellent corrosion resistance. The lightweight design eases assembly in dense panel layouts and reduces overall system weight for mobile equipment. This construction is well-suited to industrial and aerospace applications where long-term durability, heat dissipation, and cosmetic durability matter. Straight backshell simplifies installation by aligning mating interfaces in predictable ways, reducing installation time in tight spaces. The backshell type, coupled with a sealing gland, ensures a reliable seal without extra sealing steps. This translates to faster provisioning during machine builds or field retrofits and less risk of improper assembly. Size 18 and 96.6 mm length with a 30 mm width and 73.7 g weight deliver a compact footprint for crowded control cabinets. The compact form, combined with a wide operating range of -40 to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance, supports long-term reliability in demanding environments while maintaining straightforward field servicing.
