What the 30A rating means for your build
The D5W5P36A6GV08LF: 30A per contact is the headline number, and it's not a derated signal figure — this connector is sized for power distribution inside the enclosure. The 300V rating gives enough creepage for the 5W5 shell size without forcing an oversized footprint.
Mounting and retention hardware
The grounding indents on the shell mate with the receptacle face to bleed shield current before it reaches the signal path.
How it compares to the D5W5P36A6GX08LF
The D5W5P36A6GX08LF is the same connector in every respect — same 5 power positions, same 30A rating, same 30.0µin gold, same backset, same board locks — except the flange feature is a housing/shell 4-40 instead of the female screwlock on the GV variant. If your panel or mating half expects a female screwlock on the plug side, the GV is the correct pick; if the hardware is on the receptacle side, the GX is the swap. Everything else drops in identically.
