What it is — and where the 465629329 sits in the EXTreme Ten60Power line
The Molex 465629329 is the 34-position receptacle member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, combining signal and power contacts in a single press-fit through-hole housing. Its contact layout carries 30 signal positions and 4 dedicated power positions — a 34-circuit total that distinguishes it by circuit type rather than treating every position as identical. Rated 60 A per circuit and 600VAC/250VDC, the 465629329 is engineered for board-level power distribution where the signal pins and power pins share the same card-edge footprint.
What the ratings mean for your BOM decision
Press-fit termination lands the connector on the board without solder, which eliminates a reflow step and grounds the 465629329 in the press-fit header subset of the Ten60Power family. For applications where the board will be rework-serviced or where solder voids are a concern, this is the key differentiator against solder-tail variants in the same series.
Where this class of connector is used
EXTreme Ten60Power receptacles are deployed in board-to-board and board-to-cable power distribution at the card-edge interface — common in industrial automation control cabinets, DC distribution panels, and power modules where a single-mate connection routes both signal sense lines and power rails simultaneously. The mixed signal/power layout is suited to applications where the power bus and control circuitry share a common entry point, and where the 60 A per circuit rating eliminates the need for a separate bus bar for moderate-power branches.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The 465629329 carries an Active product status with ROHS3 Compliant designation — no L* successor order code is listed in the record, which means there is no official cross-reference to a newer variant. Procurement can quote this exact part number directly against BOM quantities. The housing material is rated UL94 V-0, which satisfies the flammability requirement for most industrial enclosure builds without requiring a separate flame-barrier assessment.
