What this connector is
The Molex 2141150010 is the 38-circuit member of the EXTreme Guardian 214115 series — a 5-row, right-angle power receptacle with female blade sockets designed for high-current bus-bar and power-distribution interconnects in industrial equipment. At 80 A per circuit and 125 V, this sits at the heavy end of the series — the contact material is copper alloy with 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold over the full mating surface, which is the plating grade that sustains repeated high-current matings without the oxide growth that tin-plated contacts accumulate at high load. The push-pull fastening type locks without tool assist — the board guide and mating guide features confirm it is designed for blind or semi-constrained insertion in equipment where access to the mating face is limited. Termination is through-hole solder, right-angle orientation, into a black LCP housing rated over an operating range of -40°C to 105°C — solid for industrial ambient profiles without active cooling at the connector face.
How it is used
The EXTreme Guardian series is deployed as power interconnects inside industrial automation equipment, motor drives, and power supplies — anywhere a multi-row high-current bus needs a board-mounted mate that can be pushed together and pulled apart in the field without tools. Five rows at 38 positions means the contact density is distributed — each circuit carries 80 A, so the total bus current through the connector can reach into the kilamp range depending on how the 38 ways are bussed. Routing the board traces that feed this footprint requires attention to width and clearance at 125 V; the 5-row pitch spacing governs the keep-out zone.
