Product catalog summary

Goldfish Power Connectors Overview
Goldfish Power Connectors are designed for high power density applications, featuring blind mate and float mounting capabilities. They support 20, 30, 35, and 50 ampere power contacts and offer hot plug capability. These connectors integrate AC, DC, and signal contacts in a single unit, with options for lower-cost precision-formed female signal contacts.

Technical Specifications

Materials: Insulators are made from glass-filled nylon, UL 94V-0, in orange color. Contacts are precision machined from copper alloy with gold over nickel plating.
Electrical Characteristics: Contact current ratings vary by size, with size 12 contacts supporting up to 50 amperes. Initial contact resistance is specified per IEC 512-2 standards.
Mechanical Characteristics: Features include a blind mating system with molded guides, removable contacts, and sequential mating options. Contact retention forces are specified for both power and signal contacts.
Climatic Characteristics: Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +105°C.

Connector Versions and Characteristics

GFSH02: 21 size 16 power contacts, 12 size 20 signal contacts.
GFSH109: 10 size 16 power contacts, 9 size 22 signal contacts.
GFSH928: 18 size 16 power contacts, 28 size 22 signal contacts.
GFSH435: 4 size 12 power contacts, 9 size 16 power contacts, 12 size 20 signal contacts.
GFSH624: 6 size 16 power contacts, 24 size 22 signal contacts.
GFSH89: 8 size 16 power contacts, 9 size 22 signal contacts.

Performance and Testing

Temperature rise and contact resistance are tested under various conditions, with specific curves provided for different connector versions.
Contact resistance is tested per IEC 512-2 standards, with results varying based on contact size and material.

Installation and Maintenance

Instructions for PCB installation include choosing proper tooling and securing connectors with self-tapping screws.
Single contact repair involves using extraction and insertion tools to replace damaged contacts.

Compliance and Recognition

UL and TÜV recognized, with specific file numbers provided for compliance verification.

Specifications:

Material: Connectors are made from steel with zinc plating, and some components are made from stainless steel, passivated, or aluminum with anodized finishes.
Contact Sizes: Available in sizes 16, 20, and 22, with specific part numbers for male and female insertion and extraction tools.
Connector Variants: Includes GFSH02, GFSH109, GFSH435, GFSH624, GFSH89, and GFSH928, each with specific seating and support tool part numbers.

Procedures:

Installation Tools: Detailed ordering information for insertion and extraction tools, as well as seating and support tools for different connector variants.
Mounting Styles: Instructions for straight and right-angle PCB mounts, including specific codes for ordering.

Standards and Recommendations:

Jackscrew Systems: Different systems are available for various Goldfish versions, with specific material and finish recommendations.
Modular Cable Clamp Hoods: Available for certain Goldfish versions, with materials and finishes specified for each component.

Contact Hole Patterns: Detailed dimensions and suggested sizes for contact hole patterns for PCB mounts, applicable to different Goldfish versions.

New Features:

Precision-Formed Female Signal Contacts: Introduced for lower cost and lower mating force, available for size 22 contacts only.
Sequential Mating Systems: Available in both PCB and crimp version connectors, with specific lengths provided.

Ordering Procedure: The ordering process involves selecting from a series of steps that define the connector series, version, gender, contact type, mounting style, and any special options. Each step provides specific codes to customize the connector to the desired specifications.

Automatic Crimp Machine: The crimp machine is a bench mount pneumatic unit designed for fast cycling and reliable crimping. It supports wire sizes from 12 AWG to 30 AWG and requires contacts to be ordered separately. The machine is available for rent only.

Contact Tools: The document lists various tools for contact extraction, insertion, and crimping, specifying the appropriate tool for each contact size. It also provides electrical characteristics for different contact sizes, including current ratings, contact resistance, and working voltage.

GG Series Connectors: The GG Series connectors offer modular tooling for a variety of configurations, with contact current ratings up to 200 amps and voltage proof up to 3,000 V r.m.s. The connectors feature excellent blind mating and sequential mating options.

Sales and Contact Information: The document provides contact details for sales offices across North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific regions, including phone numbers and email addresses for each location.
