The Molex 5046223010 is a 30-circuit plug from the SlimStack 504622 series, configured with outer shroud contacts in a dual-row layout. The 0.014" (0.35mm) pitch is tight — it drives a dense board footprint that requires fine-line PCB routing and precision SMT placement.
Direct Cross-Reference — 504622-3010
The functional equivalent is the 504622-3010, which shares the same SlimStack series, 30 positions, 0.35mm pitch, SMT mounting, and gold contact finish. The difference is packaging: the 504622-3010 ships in Box format instead of Tape & Reel, and critically, it carries an Active lifecycle status. If your assembly line can accept box packaging — typically a tube or tray — this is a drop-in replacement for the 5046223010 without a footprint change.
Board Layout Fit Checklist
The 0.35mm pitch and 0.6mm mated height mean the footprint must match the SlimStack 504622 series land pattern exactly — no margin for pad scaling. Both rows of outer shroud contacts are surface mount; the 0.019" (0.48mm) height above board dictates the solder paste stencil thickness and reflow profile. The plug mates with the matching SlimStack receptacle of the same series and position count. If the design is still in the layout phase and the 504622-3010 is available, that is the safer procurement path.
