What it is — 35-position hybrid power/signal receptacle
The Molex 465629330 is the 35-circuit member of the EXTreme Ten60Power 46562 series — a mixed-format board-level power connector that carries 30 signal contacts and 10 dedicated power contacts in a single housing. Rated 60 A per circuit at 600VAC or 250VDC, it uses press-fit through-hole termination rather than solder pins, and the housing is black UL94 V-0 rated to survive the thermal environment inside industrial enclosures.
What the ratings mean for your BOM line
The 60 A headline rating is per contact — the 10 power circuits can each carry 60 A independently, so the connector handles real distribution current, not just auxiliary power. The 30-signal / 10-power contact split matters because a buyer matching a harness harness with dedicated power and signal lanes needs to confirm the count matches their harness layout before committing; a standard 35-way power-only header won't have the signal circuit split, and a standard 35-way signal header won't carry the current. Gold plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) is mid-grade — it supports multiple mating cycles without the fretting risk of tin-plated contacts, but if the application demands the highest cycle life the buyer should confirm whether the series offers a thicker plating option in the same footprint. The -40°C to 105°C operating window covers outdoor and industrial enclosure ranges; the UL94 V-0 housing survives the hot side of that envelope without softening. Press-fit termination is the key differentiator from a solder-tail version of the same series — it lands in a plated-through hole without flow solder, which matters for high-current bus-bar style boards where rework access is limited and thermal cycling of solder joints is a known failure mode. The mating guide feature reduces insertion force variance and helps alignment in blind-mate or rack-mount scenarios.
Where this class of connector lives
EXTreme Ten60Power connectors are board-level power interconnects used in industrial automation, server infrastructure, and equipment where power rails and signal lanes need to share a single board entry point without occupying separate footprints. The 600VAC rating puts this above low-voltage harness territory — it's suited for the AC distribution side of equipment power supplies and motor drives, not just DC control rails.
