What it is
The Molex 464369319 is a 34-circuit right-angle press-fit receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46436 series — a hybrid contact layout that packs 30 signal contacts alongside 4 dedicated power contacts in a single housing. Rated 60 A per circuit at 600 VAC or 250 VDC, it is sized for board-to-board power distribution in applications that need both signal routing and high current in one connector footprint.
Contact layout and what it means for your BOM
The mixed layout is the key differentiator: four power blades carry the bulk current while the thirty signal contacts handle control and sensing. Board-layout engineers should verify the power blade positions before routing — the four power contacts are distributed within the 34-position shell, so trace width and thermal relief on the power pins need to match the 60 A rating, not just the signal routing density.
Termination and board fit
Press-fit tails eliminate soldering on the power pins — the connector seats into plated-through holes under mechanical pressure and forms a gas-tight joint. The right-angle orientation places the mating face parallel to the board edge, suited for mid-plane or backplane board stacking. Board guide features are molded into the housing to keep the connector seated square during press-in and thermal cycling. Mating guide ribs on the housing help the mating header locate before the contacts engage, reducing insertion force variation on a 34-contact assembly.
Contact plating and durability
Gold plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) covers the mating interface — thick enough for repeated cycling without the contact resistance walk-out seen on tin-plated parts in similar current ranges. The 60 A per-contact rating holds within the -40°C to 105°C operating window; above 105°C the derating curve will pull the effective current below the rated maximum, so check the product drawing if the application's thermal environment runs close to the limit.
