What it is and where it fits
The Molex 0465629317 is a 32-position EXTreme Ten60Power receptacle — 30 signal contacts plus 2 dedicated power contacts in a single housing, rated 60 A per circuit. The press-fit termination is designed for through-hole board mounting without solder, which matters in high-current backplane or bus-bar interconnects where thermal cycling of solder joints is a known failure mode. Gold contacts at 0.76 µm thickness (30 µin) give this connector meaningful durability for repeated mating cycles — well above flash-plating territory. Rated 600 VAC or 250 VDC and built for the -40°C to 105°C operating window common in industrial power distribution and automation equipment.
Contact layout and what it means for your circuit
The 30 signal + 2 power contact split defines this variant — the 2 power positions carry the bulk current while the 30 signal positions handle control and sense circuits. The 60 A per circuit rating applies across all 32 positions.
