What it is and where it sits in the series
The Molex 465629328 is the 33-position receptacle member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series — a mixed signal-and-power board connector built around a 60A per-power-circuit rating with gold contacts throughout. The contact layout splits 30 signal circuits with 6 dedicated power circuits in a single housing, terminated press-fit through-hole for press-fit PCB insertion without soldering. Black housing, UL94 V-0 rated body, and a mating guide feature to confirm full engagement before the assembly carries current.
What the key ratings mean
The 60A current rating applies to the six power circuits — the signal contacts carry low-level current, so the 60A headline is the power-beam rating, not a per-contact average across all 33 positions. Contact finish is 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold across the full contact set, which gives the endurance headroom needed for the industrial mating cycles typical of power-distribution board connections. The voltage rating of 600VAC and 250VDC covers the AC mains and DC bus rails common in industrial automation panels — the dual rating reflects the AC/DC nature of the power path rather than a combined rating. Operating range is -40°C to 105°C, wide enough for unventilated cabinet positions near bus bars or motor drives.
Press-fit termination and board fit
Press-fit through-hole termination inserts into a plated-through PCB hole and cold-welds at the interface — no solder reflow required, which matters when the connector is specified late in a board layout pass or when wave-solder thermal budget is a constraint. The through-hole format also handles higher current more reliably than SMT for a 60A power path — the plated hole and press-fit pin carry more current-carrying cross-section than a surface-mount pad. Confirm the board hole size and plating against the Molex EXTreme Ten60Power landing pattern for this series before committing the layout.
