Product Introduction
The Molex 2141140001 is the 38-circuit, 5-row receptacle from the EXTreme Guardian 214114 series, designed for high-current power distribution.
80 A per circuit is a bus-level rating — each blade is sized to carry the main DC rail current, not a signal line. The LCP housing and 30.0 µin gold contact finish maintain performance under continuous high current. LCP insulation handles high soldering temperatures and stays dimensionally stable at the upper end.
Through-hole solder termination gives a robust mechanical and electrical connection to the PCB — no press-fit tooling needed, and the solder joint can be inspected visually. The push-pull fastening provides a positive lock without requiring a secondary latch mechanism, which simplifies field mating and unmating. The black LCP housing includes a mating guide feature to align the connector halves during engagement.
Comparison with Peer 1720430606
The 1720430606 is a Super Sabre 172043 series header, male blades, 6 positions, 1 row, rated 30 A at 600 V with silver 100.0 µin contacts. It is a different connector family — lower current per circuit, single row, different pitch (0.295" / 7.50 mm), and silver instead of gold plating. The 2141140001 will not drop into a panel specified around 1720430606 without rewiring; the circuit count, row layout, and current rating are fundamentally different.
