Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 Bayonet Connector – Fire Certified

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fire and Smoke certified bayonet connection ensures regulatory compliance and enhanced safety, reducing qualification timelines and audit findings across safety-critical equipment used in automation, rail, and industrial machinery. The result is lower risk, faster deployment, and predictable performance in demanding environments. Feature → Environmental sealing via sealing gland backshell and straight backshell design provides robust ingress protection, minimizes maintenance, and simplifies panel routing, ideal for control panels in factories and process lines. Feature → Aluminum shell with black anodized finish delivers corrosion resistance and EMI shielding in harsh environments while maintaining a compact footprint; this supports lighter assemblies with reliable signal integrity in dense cabinet layouts. Feature → 28-position layout with socket (female) contacts enables scalable wiring for multi-channel interconnects, reducing harness complexity and ensuring consistent mating across modules. Feature → Broad operating range of -40 to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance delivers dependable service in extreme climates and after long field exposure, lowering lifecycle costs and extending equipment uptime. Feature → RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 compliance remove regulatory barriers and qualify assemblies for global markets, enabling cost-effective procurement and faster customer approvals. Industry-savvy installation notes emphasize compatibility with Souriau VGE1-FER1 mating partners, quick bayonet mating, and straightforward gland sealing, addressing common objections about field hardware and long-term reliability.
