Product Introduction
The Molex 464369301 is a single-position power receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46436 series. It accepts a female blade socket and is terminated via press-fit into a through-hole, right-angle board mount — designed for high-current board-to-wire power distribution in backplane or busbar assemblies. Rated 60 A per circuit and 600 VAC / 250 VDC, it carries gold plating at 30.0 µin on the contact surface for repeated mating cycles in industrial or telecom environments.
The 60 A per circuit rating means each power blade is sized for bus-level current — this is a main DC rail or high-current feed connector, not a signal line. The 600 VAC / 250 VDC rating provides enough creepage for a single power position at the given pitch; the DC derating to 250 VDC is a practical limit for high-side switching or battery interconnect applications. Press-fit termination eliminates solder and supports high-reliability backplane assembly — the connector can be reworked without desoldering, and the compliant pin holds position through vibration.
This connector is used as a high-current wire-to-board power interconnect in backplane or busbar assemblies — typical in server PSUs, battery management systems, industrial power distribution units, and telecom rectifiers.
How It Compares to Multi-Position Siblings
The 464369301 is the 1-position member of the 46436 series, carrying a single power contact at 60 A. The sibling 464369306 and 464369307 offer 6 and 7 power positions respectively at the same 60 A per circuit, same pitch, same press-fit right-angle footprint — the board layout must accommodate the wider housing and additional plated holes. For a single high-current feed, the 1-position part minimises board real estate; for multiple power rails, the multi-position versions consolidate wiring into one connector.
