The Molex 78229-2001 is a 2-position male-blade header from the GbX I-Trac 78229 series, built for board-edge power distribution in backplane assemblies. It carries two power contacts rated 40 A each at 250 V, with a right-angle orientation and press-fit termination — no solder, which simplifies assembly and rework in high-reliability environments. The housing is black UL94 V-0 rated, and the mating blades are finished with 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold, good for repeated mating cycles without contact degradation.
Press-fit termination and board mounting
The mounting type is 'Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle', so the header sits at the edge of the PCB and routes power parallel to the board plane.
