Power Receptacle for Board-Edge Distribution
The Molex 2141150010 is the 38-position right-angle receptacle in the EXTreme Guardian 214115 series, built for high-current board-to-wire power distribution. It carries female blade sockets rated 80 A per circuit at 125 V, with gold plating at 30.0 µ" (0.76 µm) on the mating interface — thick enough for repeated mating cycles in equipment that sees field service. The 5-row layout, combined with the board guide and mating guide, helps align the connector during blind assembly in tight enclosures where you can't see the pins seat.
What 80 A per Circuit Means for the Build
80 A per circuit at 125 V — each power blade carries the main DC rail. The rating assumes the full complement of power contacts are loaded and mated to the corresponding EXTreme Guardian plug. The 30.0 µ" gold contact finish is the practical differentiator here — it's what makes this connector suited for applications with regular mating cycles, like modular PSUs or battery interconnect assemblies where the connector sees dozens of mates over its life. Tin plating at this current level would gall and degrade contact resistance after fewer cycles.
