30-position hybrid power/signal plug for board-level distribution
The Molex 464373005 is a 30-position plug from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46437 series, carrying a hybrid contact layout of 24 signal pins and 6 power blades in a single right-angle through-hole package. Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the contacts supports repeated mating cycles in corrosive or field-service environments, and the UL94 V-0 rated housing meets the flame requirement for equipment inside an enclosure.
What the 24-signal / 6-power layout means for your board
This hybrid layout lets a single connector handle both the control wiring and the power feed — no separate power header or terminal block needed on that edge. The board footprint must accommodate the mixed pin field; the power blades are physically larger than the signal pins, so the PCB layout needs the corresponding plated-through holes and trace widths for the higher current paths. The right-angle through-hole termination means the connector solders into the board and stands the mating face upright, which is common for power distribution boards in servers, industrial PSUs, and battery interconnect assemblies.
This plug mates with the EXTreme Ten60Power receptacle — the mating half carries the female contacts and power blades. The connector includes board guides and a guide pin to align the two halves during assembly and take shear loads off the signal pins.
How the 464373005 compares to the 46437-3005
The 46437-3005 is the same 30-position, 24-signal/6-power hybrid plug from the same EXTreme Ten60Power 46437 series, with identical specs: gold 30.0µin contact finish, right-angle through-hole, UL94 V-0, active lifecycle. The only difference is the order code format — 464373005 vs 46437-3005 — which is a manufacturer part-number variant, not a functional delta. Either code sources the same physical connector; the choice is a BOM line preference or distributor listing match.
