Single-Blade Power Receptacle for High-Current Bus Distribution
The Molex 0465629201 is a single-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, accepting a female blade socket contact. This is a pure power interconnect — one circuit, one blade — designed to carry the main DC rail or AC bus in a power distribution assembly, not a signal line. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering, suiting it for backplane or solderless high-reliability builds where rework must be straightforward.
Press-Fit Termination and Mounting
Termination is press-fit into a through-hole PCB. No solder joint means the connection relies on the interference fit between the compliant pin and the plated hole — a standard approach for backplane power distribution where the board sees multiple insertion cycles during assembly. The single-row, single-position layout keeps the footprint compact: one plated hole per circuit, no extra real estate for signal pins.
Voltage and Environmental Ratings
Rated 600 VAC and 250 VDC — the AC rating is higher because the voltage splits across the creepage path differently under AC vs DC stress. ROHS3 compliance covers the current EU substance restrictions.
