42-Position LPHPower Plug with 36 Signal and 6 Power Contacts
The Molex 459856272 is a 42-position plug from the EXTreme LPHPower 45985 series, a hybrid connector that packs 36 signal contacts and 6 power contacts into a single 2-row, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch interface. This layout lets a single connector handle both a wide parallel data bus and a moderate-current power feed, reducing the number of separate connectors on the board edge. A built-in mating guide aligns the plug to its receptacle during blind assembly, which is a real help when the connector is tucked against a panel wall or behind other components. The connector is loaded to all 42 positions — no empty cavities to work around.
