Power-Only Receptacle for Solderless Backplane Assembly
The Molex 0461120403 is a 4-position receptacle from the EXTreme LPHPower 46112 series, designed as a dedicated power interconnect with outer shroud contacts. All four positions are loaded as power contacts — no signal pins — making it a straight-through current path for bus-level distribution. The 12.00 mm pitch provides generous creepage for high-voltage applications while keeping the board footprint manageable for a power-only connector. Press-fit termination means this receptacle installs without solder — the compliant pin compresses into the plated through-hole, creating a gas-tight joint. That makes it a natural fit for backplane assemblies where reflow is impractical and rework must be possible. The through-hole mounting gives mechanical retention beyond what a surface-mount power connector would offer. The black housing and integral guide pin aid alignment during blind-mate assembly in multi-connector backplanes.
