Hybrid Power/Signal Receptacle for High-Current Distribution
The Molex 465629312 is a 17-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series — a hybrid connector that packs 15 signal contacts and 2 power blade sockets into a single through-hole, press-fit housing. It's designed for board-to-wire power distribution where you need bus-level current (60 A per power contact) alongside dense signal interconnects, all in one connector.
The 15 signal contacts handle low-current control or sensing circuits, so one connector replaces two separate power and signal connectors, saving board real estate. That's the standard for backplane and high-reliability assemblies where solder reflow stress and rework need to be minimised. The through-hole mounting gives a robust mechanical anchor for the heavy power contacts. The 600 VAC / 250 VDC voltage rating splits by current type — design to the DC ceiling (250 VDC) for battery or rectified bus applications. The Mating Guide feature helps align the connector pair during blind-mate assembly.
The 465629314 is the same EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, same pitch, same press-fit termination, same 60 A power rating, same 30.0 µin gold plating — but it carries 19 positions (15 signal + 4 power) instead of the 17 (15 signal + 2 power) on the 465629312. If your BOM needs two additional high-current paths in the same footprint class, the 465629314 is the direct swap-up. For a 2-power-path design, the 465629312 matches without excess capacity.
