Product Introduction
The Molex 78229-1001 is a 2-position, 2-row header from the GbX I-Trac 78229 series, designed as a power blade interconnect for backplane and midplane assemblies. The connector terminates via press-fit into plated through-holes and mounts at a right angle to the board edge, suiting it for high-current power distribution in telecom, datacom, and server rack equipment where solderless assembly and field rework are preferred.
The 250 V rating is typical for backplane power distribution within an enclosure. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering, which simplifies assembly and allows rework without desoldering — a common requirement in high-reliability backplane builds.
The connector is ROHS3 compliant. The black colour and guide-left keying (Connector Style: I-Trac, Guide Left) help prevent mis-mating in multi-connector backplane layouts.
