The Molex 465629328 is a 33-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, combining 30 signal contacts and 6 blade-style power contacts in a single housing. It is designed for high-current board-to-board or wire-to-board power distribution where a mixed signal-and-power layout saves space on the PCB. The press-fit termination keeps assembly solder-free, making this a common choice for backplane and power-distribution applications where rework access and thermal cycling matter.
60 A per Power Circuit — What That Means for the Build
The 30 signal contacts handle the lower-current control or sense lines, so the connector eliminates a separate power header. The 600 VAC / 250 VDC dual rating covers both AC distribution and DC bus applications, but the 250 VDC ceiling is the limiting factor for DC rail design.
Press-Fit Termination and Board Fit
Press-fit through-hole termination means the compliant pins cold-form into the plated through-hole — no solder, no reflow profile, and the connector can be replaced without desoldering. The mating guide feature helps align the receptacle with its plug during blind-mate assembly, reducing shear stress on the signal pins.
Gold 30.0 µin Contact Finish
The 30 signal contacts are gold-plated as well, so the entire interface is protected against fretting corrosion in high-vibration installations.
