Single-position power receptacle for high-current bus bars
The Molex 173708-0002 is a single-position press-fit receptacle from the 173708 series, designed as a low-profile BBC (Bus Bar Connector) assembly. It carries 60 A per circuit at 600 VAC — bus-level current and voltage that put it squarely in the power distribution domain, not signal interconnect. Termination is press-fit, which means the contact is pressed into a plated through-hole without solder. This is the standard choice for backplane and power-distribution boards where solderless assembly, reworkability, and high-reliability connections are required.

Note that this part is RoHS non-compliant. If your BOM requires RoHS, this connector is not a fit — confirm the exemption or regulatory tolerance before specifying.
