Board guide and board lock features are integrated into the housing: the guide aligns the connector during blind mating, and the lock anchors it to the PCB to take shear and vibration stress off the solder joints. ## Sizing up the mounting and termination options The listing shows both Surface Mount, Right Angle and Through Hole as mounting types — this is unusual for a single order code. One of these is likely the actual termination for this variant, or the catalog entry covers a dual-footprint part. The termination is listed as Solder, which fits either method. Before committing the board layout, confirm which termination style the 534620001 carries — the SMT right-angle version will have a different footprint and reflow profile than a through-hole solder-tail part. ## Where the board guide and board lock matter The board guide is a plastic alignment post that steers the mating half into position during assembly — useful when the connector is not at the board edge or when the mating header is on a separate PCB that gets stacked blind. Together they make this receptacle suited for a mezzanine stack or a wire-to-board connection in equipment that sees handling or moderate vibration.","metaTitle":"Molex 534620001 Receptacle, 6 Pos, Gold 30µin","metaDescription":"Molex 534620001 Series 53462 receptacle, 6 positions, gold 30.0µin (0.76µm) contact finish.
