What it is
The Molex 464379327 is a 32-position right-angle male plug in the EXTreme Ten60Power 46437 series — a hybrid power/signal board-stacking connector built around a 30-signal + 4-power contact layout. Each of the four power positions carries 60 A per contact at 600 VAC or 250 VDC, while the thirty signal positions handle companion control or sensing paths at the same voltage class. Gold-over-nickel plating at 30 µin (0.76 µm) covers the mating interface, and press-fit tails anchor the connector to the PCB through-hole without wave soldering. Guide pins on the housing body align the mated pair before the contacts engage — critical for a high-current connector where any angular offset at mating translates into contact imbalance and localized hot spots. The housing is black, rated UL94 V-0, and operates from -40°C to 105°C.
Press-fit termination and board-stacking fit
Press-fit through-hole termination means the connector lands without solder — the compliant tail section deforms into the plated via barrel, making gas-tight interference contact. That eliminates wave-solder exposure for the connector itself and suits it for backplane or midplane architectures where the daughter card must survive reflow without reflowing the connector. Right-angle orientation routes the mating face parallel to the daughter-card edge; the guide pins take the mating alignment load so the signal and power contacts engage concentrically. The 32-position footprint is fixed by the hybrid layout — a 30+4 split that leaves the four power positions identifiable by position in the housing for field service.
Current rating and thermal margin
60 A per contact is the per-position rating — the four dedicated power circuits each carry that independently. The 105°C upper operating limit gives headroom above most enclosed cabinet ambient, and the UL94 V-0 housing material does not soft-land below that ceiling. For a high-current connector like this, the derating path is the board via thermal resistance and ambient — the connector itself is rated at the contact level. Confirm the PCB trace and via stack can carry the same current to the power pins before specifying, since the press-fit tail is the current-entry point from board copper.
