Stephen Law
Electronics Interconnect connector InterconnectPOSITRONIC Goldfish GFSH range offers designers hot-swap capability (mating and un-mating while powered up) with secure blind mating, allowing for up to 2mm misalignment. Devices provide compact form and combination layouts makes product range suitable to the latest compact, high-reliability power delivery and control systems. Users may specify combinations of 20A, 30A, 35A and 50A solid machined contacts in a mixed density package. Multiple contact sizes allow the mixing of ac-dc input, signal, and dc distributed output in a single compact connector. Devices come in six contact options with touch-safe recessed female contacts and large surface area (LSA) contacts combining energy saving with low contact resistance. The precision copper alloy gold plated contacts are rated at 500 mating cycles.
