Power blade receptacle for backplane and bus-bar distribution
The Molex 465629303 is a 3-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, designed to carry 60 A per circuit through individual female blade sockets. Each position is a dedicated power contact — no signal pins share the housing. The 0.217" (5.50 mm) pitch provides the creepage distance needed for the 600 VAC / 250 VDC rating, making this a true power-grade interconnect for DC bus rails, server PSU outputs, or battery distribution boards. Termination is press-fit through hole. A built-in mating guide aligns the connector pair during blind-mate assembly, reducing the risk of pin damage.
3-position vs. multi-position siblings — position count drives the BOM line
The 465629303 carries 3 power positions, all loaded. This is the smallest position-count variant in the 46562 series. For comparison, the 465629314 offers 19 positions (15 signal, 4 power) and the 465629319 offers 34 positions (30 signal, 4 power) — both at the same 60 A per power contact and 30.0 µin gold plating. If signal lines are required alongside power, the hybrid variants add signal contacts in the same housing.
