The Molex 465629307 is the 7-circuit member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series — a board-mount power blade receptacle with female blade sockets designed for high-current bus distribution at up to 60 A per circuit.
60 A per circuit — the rating that defines the fit
The 60 A current rating is the load-bearing spec for this connector. The EXTreme Ten60Power series is built around that current density, so the 465629307 is selected when the circuit demands sustained power delivery at 60 A rather than signal-level duty. All 7 positions are loaded, giving a full 7-way power blade array in a single row.
Press-fit termination for solderless board assembly
The press-fit termination interfaces the connector into plated-through holes by mechanical interference — the contact tail deforms the plating inside the barrel to make an gas-tight connection without a reflow or hand-solder step. This is the assembly method the 465629307 is built for; through-hole mounting is the stated mounting type. Confirm the board hole size and plating in the Molex EXTreme Ten60Power datasheet before committing to a solder-free assembly flow.
What the voltage and temperature ratings mean
Rated 600 VAC or 250 VDC — the VAC figure governs AC bus applications; the VDC figure is the derated ceiling for DC rails. The operating window spans -40°C to 105°C, wide enough for most industrial enclosure environments without forced cooling of the connector itself.
Gold contact finish and cycle life
Gold plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) over the contact surface is the durable finish standard for power interconnects that see mating cycles. The thickness resists fretting and surface oxidation over repeated connect/disconnect events. UL94 V-0 housing material means the connector body is self-extinguishing under flame exposure — relevant for enclosed equipment enclosures.
