What it is and where it fits
The Molex 465629305 is the 5-circuit member of the EXTreme Ten60Power series — a blade-style power receptacle rated 60A per position at 0.217 inch (5.50 mm) pitch, terminated as a through-hole press-fit component for PCB mounting. Gold contacts at 30 µin (0.76 µm) thickness carry the full 60 A per circuit without derating across the –40 °C to 105 °C operating window, and the UL94 V-0 housing material supports the temperature rise without going near its flammability limit. The voltage ceiling is 600 VAC / 250 VDC — a dual-rated figure that puts this squarely in mid-voltage industrial power distribution rather than low-voltage signal territory, so check your system rail voltage before committing.
Termination and what it mates with
Press-fit termination means no solder reflow is required at the board interface — the compliant pins insert into plated through-holes and make mechanical/electrical contact by interference fit. This is the right choice when you need a high-current board feedthrough without a wave or hand-solder step adding thermal stress to adjacent components. The connector is a receptacle with female blade sockets — it mates with the matching EXTreme Ten60Power male blade header (ordered separately) that carries the corresponding 5-position blade array. The mating guide feature on the housing provides orientation alignment during blind or high-density board-stacking assembly. All 5 positions are loaded at the factory; there is no partially-populated option at this order code.
