What this connector is
The Molex 464369302 is the 2-circuit member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46436 series — a right-angle press-fit receptacle built for card-edge power bus delivery at scale. Female blade sockets accept the matching male power-blade contacts; the board guide and mating guide features position the card edge accurately before the blades engage, which matters in high-current bus bars where any mis-alignment concentrates current density at the contact interface. The 5.50 mm (0.217 in) pitch and right-angle orientation make this a card-edge connector — the through-hole press-fit tail solders into the PCB at the board perimeter, carrying 60 A per circuit across the bus bar without a separate wire harness run.
What the ratings mean
60 A per circuit is the headline, but the gold plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) is what keeps the contact resistance stable under thermal cycling — at 60 A, even a few milliohms of increase at the interface translates to noticeable温升. The thick gold is not decorative; it is the current-path integrity spec for this rating. Voltage rating of 600 VAC / 250 VDC covers the AC mains and DC bus voltage tiers common in industrial drives and power-conversion equipment. At 60 A with that voltage headroom, this is squarely in the medium-power distribution category — not signal-level, not bus-bar bushing, but the blade interface that bridges PCB power planes to external harness. Press-fit termination eliminates a solder joint in the current path. For a 60 A connector, that is a meaningful reliability gain — solder fatigue at the pad is the primary failure mode in thermal-cycled power interconnects, and a press-fit eye-of-the-needle tail avoids it entirely when the PCB plating is specified correctly. UL94 V-0 flammability rating is required in most industrial enclosure builds; the -40°C to 105°C operating window covers outdoor-equipment and unconditioned-warehouse environments without derating this part from its current spec.
Sourcing and compliance
Listed Active with ROHS3 Compliant status — no LTB notice, no NRND flag, no documented successor for this 2-position variant. No official cross-reference row in this listing. If the design requires a form-fit-function substitute, the Molex Ten60Power series catalog is the authoritative source — pitch and blade geometry are series-proprietary, so a non-Molex equivalent is not a straightforward drop-in without checking the card-edge geometry.
