Product Introduction
The Molex 465629316 is a 31-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, combining 30 signal contacts and a single 60 A power blade in a single housing. It is designed for board-to-board power distribution where a high-current bus rail and multiple signal lines share the same connector footprint — typical in server PSUs, industrial power supplies, and battery interconnect assemblies. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering, making it suitable for backplane or rework-friendly assemblies where through-hole solder joints are undesirable.
The 30 signal contacts are not individually rated in the spec, but the hybrid layout tells you the signal side is for low-current control or monitoring, not power. The 600 VAC / 250 VDC voltage rating gives enough headroom for AC mains or a rectified DC bus, though the DC derating (250 V vs 600 V AC) reflects the reduced creepage under DC stress — something to account for if the rail runs above 250 VDC.
Compliance and Sourcing
The UL94 V-0 rating and ROHS3 compliance cover the regulatory requirements for most commercial and industrial equipment.
