Power receptacle for bus-level current — 60 A per circuit, press-fit termination
The Molex 465629305 is a 5-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, designed for high-current power distribution in backplane and board-to-busbar applications. The 0.217" (5.50 mm) pitch provides enough creepage for the 600 VAC / 250 VDC rating without forcing an oversized board footprint. Press-fit termination means solderless assembly, rework-friendly for backplane builds, and reliable contact in high-vibration environments.
Contact layout is 5 power — no signal pins mixed in. This is a pure power interconnect, not a combo signal/power header. The mating guide feature helps align the plug during blind-mate assembly in a backplane or bulkhead.
How it compares — 2-position sibling 465629302
The 2-position 465629302 shares the same 0.217" (5.50 mm) pitch, 60 A per contact rating, press-fit termination, gold 30.0 µin plating, and black UL94 V-0 housing. The only difference is circuit count: 5 positions vs 2. If your BOM calls for 2 power circuits, the 465629302 drops into the same footprint per position without rewiring. For 5 circuits, this 465629305 is the correct match — same series, same termination, same tooling.
