30-position hybrid receptacle — 24 signal circuits plus 6 power blades
The Molex 876682004 is a 30-position receptacle from the EXTreme PowerPlus 87668 series, a hybrid connector that combines 24 signal contacts with 6 power blade sockets in a single 4-row housing. This layout saves a separate power connector on the board edge, which matters when enclosure space is tight and you're routing a mix of bus voltage and control signals through one cable assembly. The right-angle through-hole mounting with board-edge orientation means the connector sits parallel to the PCB, plugging into a mating header from the side of the board.
The 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on both the signal sockets and the power blade sockets is heavier than the standard 15µin flash you see on commodity headers. That thickness buys repeated mating cycles in a power-distribution environment where the connector might see field service — the gold won't wear through to the base metal after a few dozen cycles.
