Single-position right-angle power receptacle for board-edge duty
The Molex 1737080005 is a single-position receptacle from the 173708 series, built for carrying 60 A per circuit at 600 VAC in a through-hole right-angle package. One row, one position loaded — it is a dedicated power interconnect, not a signal line.
Right-angle orientation and board layout fit
That geometry is common for board-edge power jacks where a cable or busbar enters from the side of the assembly, keeping the connector footprint off the main component area. The single position keeps the PCB cutout small — a single through-hole pad pair per circuit.
The 600 VAC rating confirms it can handle line-voltage applications, so this receptacle is a candidate for power supplies, battery interconnects, or industrial equipment where a single-pole high-current connection is needed.
Gold plating thickness and contact reliability
The 30.0 µin gold contact finish is thicker than the 15 µin flash common on low-cost signal connectors, supporting more mating cycles and better corrosion resistance in humid or industrial environments.
