The Molex 465629307 is a 7-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, designed for pure power distribution in high-current backplane and busbar applications. The press-fit termination eliminates solder, making it suitable for solderless backplane assembly where rework or field replacement is expected. The housing is black UL94 V-0 rated, and the contacts carry 30.0 µ" of gold plating — thick enough for repeated mating cycles in modular power distribution or field-service environments where contact fretting would be a concern with thinner finishes.
The press-fit termination avoids thermal stress from wave or reflow soldering, which is a real advantage on thick backplane PCBs where differential expansion can crack plated through-holes. It also makes field replacement of a damaged connector possible without desoldering. The 30.0 µ" gold finish supports the mating cycle count expected in a power distribution unit that gets disconnected during maintenance.
The 7-position 465629307 shares the same 60 A per contact rating, 5.50 mm pitch, press-fit termination, and gold 30.0 µ" plating as the 2-position 465629302. The difference is circuit count: 7 positions vs 2 positions.
