SlimStack 30-Position Receptacle for Tight Stacking
The Molex 5046183010 is a 30-position receptacle from the SlimStack 504618 series, designed as a board-to-board interconnect with center strip contacts. The mated stacking height is 0.6mm, confirmed by the spec — that dimension governs the board-to-board gap in the final assembly.
Board Fit and Stack Height Constraints
The 0.35mm pitch on a 30-position, 2-row layout means the footprint is dense — the contact rows run along the center strip, so the keep-out zone on the PCB is narrow. The 0.6mm mated stack height is the key dimension for the board-to-board gap: if your design calls for a 0.6mm ± tolerance mezzanine height, this receptacle paired with the matching SlimStack header fits that z-height budget.
