The Molex 464369313 is an 18-position EXTreme Ten60Power receptacle from the 46436 series, combining 15 signal contacts and 3 power blades in a single right-angle, press-fit body. Press-fit termination means no solder — the compliant pin cold-welds into the plated through-hole. That's a backplane or high-reliability assembly play: rework-friendly, no solder-joint inspection, and the pin stays put through thermal cycling.
Contact Layout and Plating — What Drives the Fit
The hybrid layout — 15 signal contacts plus 3 power blades — is what sets this member apart from the all-power variants in the same series. The 464369314 carries 15 signal and 4 power positions at the same 60 A per blade and 30.0 µ" gold plating, so if your BOM needs one more power circuit, that's the swap. The 464369307 and 464369306 are pure-power receptacles (7 and 6 positions respectively, all power blades) — no signal contacts at all. The pitch across the series is 0.217" (5.50 mm), so the footprint family is consistent; the difference is strictly position count and signal-to-power ratio. The gold grade is the same across the 46436 series siblings, so the mating cycle life is consistent regardless of which position count you pick.
Mounting and Mechanicals
The board guide and mating guide features (listed on the spec) help align the mating half during blind-mate assembly, taking shear off the press-fit pins.
