What this connector is
The Molex 465629315 is a 20-position power receptacle in the EXTreme Ten60Power series — a mixed-contact connector that allocates 5 of its 20 positions for power circuits and the remaining 15 for signal, which means the BOM line that needs this part is carrying both power and signal distribution on a single mating interface. The 60 A current rating applies per contact at the circuit level, so each of the five power positions can carry that current independently rather than sharing a single bus bar. Gold-over-nickel plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) on both female socket and blade contact forms gives the mating interface the durability and low contact resistance needed for press-fit through-hole deployment — press-fit tails are pressed into a backplane or PCB without soldering, and the contact interface must survive repeated mating cycles without the plating flaking or the resistance climbing. The connector mounts through-hole on the PCB, operates across -40°C to 105°C, and the Black housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating — suitable for industrial equipment enclosures where flame propagation resistance is required.
Compliance and sourcing posture
The 465629315 is listed Active with ROHS3 Compliant status — the standard qualification checkpoint for industrial automation deployments where RoHS substance restrictions apply. There is no L* successor or cross-reference order code on record, so the sourcing path for this specific part number runs directly against the BOM quantity via RFQ rather than through an alternate part number search.
What the contact layout means for the BOM
The 15 signal / 5 power contact split is the key sizing parameter: the five power positions handle the load current path while the signal positions carry control, sensing, or daisy-chain traffic. On a mixed-power board design this arrangement consolidates two connector types into one footprint — but if the application only needs signal contacts or only a subset of the five power positions, the unused positions are still loaded in the all-position-loaded configuration, so the connector cannot be depopulated at the factory to match a reduced circuit count.
