What this is
The Molex 464369305 is a 5-circuit female-blade receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46436 series, rated 60 A per circuit at a pitch of 0.217 inches (5.50 mm). Gold-over-nickel plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gives the contact interface durability beyond what tin-plated power blades deliver — the thicker gold is what earns the 60 A per blade rating without the derating you'd build into a tin contact at the same pitch. The housing is black, UL94 V-0 rated, and all 5 positions are loaded.
Termination and board fit
Press-fit termination means the connector lands on the PCB without solder — the compliant pin seats in the plated through-hole and makes contact by mechanical interference. That is the right choice when the application demands high current-carrying integrity through the board interface and wants to avoid a reflow thermal cycle on a power blade rated 60 A per circuit. Right-angle through-hole orientation keeps the mated face parallel to the board edge, so the connector sits flush in a panel-cutout or mid-plane board stack. The board guide and mating guide features align the housing during insertion — a meaningful detail in any multi-blade or blind-mate power path where the five blades need to seat in the same plane without tilt or stubbing.
Ratings that drive the selection
The 600 VAC / 250 VDC voltage rating is the headline — but note the AC and DC ratings are stated separately, which is standard practice for high-current power connectors where the AC rms rating and DC limit serve different parts of the system. At 60 A per blade across 5 circuits the connector can carry significant aggregate bus power; the -40°C to 105°C operating window covers most industrial cabinet environments, though as with any power connector you should verify the temperature rise against the actual ambient and the number of simultaneously mated blades. Gold plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) is well above the minimum — this is the grade that gives the contact the cycling durability to handle repeated mating without the resistance walk you get with thin flash gold.
