What it is — and where this member sits in the Ten60Power line
The Molex 465629319 is the 34-position member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series — a mixed-signal and power board-to-board receptacle rated 60 A per circuit at 600VAC/250VDC. The contact layout breaks out 30 signal circuits alongside 4 dedicated power circuits, which is the configuration that makes Ten60Power useful in backplane and midplane assemblies where power distribution and high-speed signal routing share the same connector footprint. Gold contact plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) sits on a press-fit termination — that plating grade is what gives the connector its reconnection durability, and the press-fit tail means it lands in a plated through-hole without solder on the power pins.
Contact layout and what the mixed layout means for your board
The 30-signal / 4-power split is not a flexible ratio — it is fixed by the contact layout in the listing. If your application needs a different power-to-signal balance across the same 34-position footprint, the series offers other contact arrangements; the 465629319 commits to this distribution. The 60 A rating applies per circuit, which means each individual power pin and each signal pin is rated to 60 A — a high continuous-current figure for a board-to-board connector of this position count. The UL94 V-0 black housing material sets the thermal ceiling at 105 °C operating.
Press-fit termination — when it decides the fit
Press-fit through-hole mounting eliminates solder on the termination side, which matters in backplane assemblies where the connector lands on a midplane that may not see wave solder, or where a soldered joint at high current is a long-term reliability concern. The through-hole press-fit tail is sized for a plated barrel — confirm your board hole diameter and plating specification match the press-fit insertion force requirements before committing. The Mating Guide feature assists alignment during assembly, which matters when you are dropping a 34-position connector into a dense backplane stack.
What it mates with
The 465629319 is a receptacle with female sockets and blade sockets — it accepts the corresponding male EXTreme Ten60Power blade header. The mating half is the board-mount header with matching 34-position count and the same 30-signal / 4-power contact split. Confirm the header's termination style (press-fit or solder) matches your board assembly process before pairing.
