Product Introduction
The Molex 465629311 is the 16-position member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series — a hybrid receptacle that combines 15 signal contacts with a single 60 A power blade in one housing. It is designed for board-level power distribution where a high-current rail needs to run alongside control or sense lines on the same connector, typical in server PSUs, industrial power supplies, and battery interconnect assemblies. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering, which suits backplane or high-reliability assemblies where rework-friendly, solderless connections are preferred.
60 A per circuit on the power blade means that single contact carries bus-level current — sized for a main DC rail, not a signal line. The 15 signal contacts are not rated for that current; the contact layout (15 signal, 1 power) is the critical BOM match. Press-fit termination requires a controlled insertion process — the board must have the correct plated-through hole diameter and the assembly tooling must apply the right force. This is not a hand-solder part.
The 465629314 is the same EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 receptacle with the same 60 A current, 30.0 µin gold plating, press-fit termination, and UL94 V-0 housing — but it carries 19 positions (15 signal, 4 power) instead of 16 (15 signal, 1 power). If your BOM needs more than one high-current blade, the 465629314 adds three power contacts without changing the signal count or the board footprint class. The 465629311 is the right choice when the design needs exactly one power blade alongside the signal set.
