Hybrid Power-Signal Receptacle for Backplane Distribution
The Molex 465629329 is a 34-position receptacle from the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series, carrying a hybrid contact layout of 30 signal positions and 4 power blades. It's built for backplane power distribution where you need to route both bus-level current and control signals through a single connector interface — the power blades handle the heavy lift while the signal contacts carry the sense and logic lines. At that current, the press-fit termination is the right call — it avoids solder-joint fatigue in high-vibration backplane environments and keeps the assembly rework-friendly if a contact needs replacement.
