Eaton VGE1VS181911M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VGE1VS181911M uses a straight sealing gland backshell and sealing grommet to minimize ingress paths, improving environmental protection and reducing field maintenance time. This translates to lower life-cycle costs and faster wiring during installation on complex machinery such as packaging lines or material handling systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: An aluminium shell with 18-position layout enables a compact, lightweight connector that preserves space within crowded control panels while maintaining robust electrical performance for multi-signal harnesses. This supports high-density automation deployments in automotive fabrication or packaging lines where component count grows. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fire and smoke certification (UL94 V0, Fire & Smoke) mitigates compliance risk in safety-critical systems, helping customers meet stringent industry standards without adding design complexity. Application spans industrial robots, conveyors, and rail applications where fire safety is non-negotiable. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 96.6 mm length and 30x30 mm footprint deliver consistent, repeatable mating in tight installations, improving installation speed and reducing misalignment issues during harness assemblies in automated warehouses and machine tools. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 18-segment layout supports precise channeling of control and power signals in a single, standardized connector, enabling cleaner harness diagrams and easier diagnostics in complex automation cells. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Black anodized plating and aluminium shell provide corrosion resistance, extending service life in demanding environments such as outdoor equipment, mining machinery, and transportation systems, ultimately lowering spare-part consumption. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C ensures reliability in extreme environments, reducing unexpected failures in cold-start or high-heat operation scenarios common in industrial plants and railway systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 500-hour salt spray resistance demonstrates durability against corrosive exposure in coastal or humid facilities, supporting longer maintenance intervals and improved total cost of ownership for critical installs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS and REACH compliance integrate smoothly into modern supply chains, simplifying procurement and regulatory reporting for generalized industrial automation projects and system integrator deployments.
