HDMI connector (board-mount HDMI receptacle)

01

Pick connector type, HDMI generation and mounting

Same Sky's HDMI connector range offers Type A receptacles conforming to HDMI 2.0, in surface-mount, mid-mount SMT and through-hole styles, with 19 contacts per port; its catalogue lists 40 V ratings, 0.5 A current ratings, 10,000 mating cycles and operating temperatures from −40 up to 100 °C across the range, and the HD11-19-MSMT-TR mid-mount receptacle measures 17.5 × 7.5 mm. [2]

HDMI Licensing's HDMI 1.4b overview describes the HDMI Micro connector as a smaller connector for phones and portable devices supporting up to 1080p, an Automotive Connection System of cables and connectors for vehicle video, and the HDMI Alt Mode for USB Type-C connectors. [3] Its cable certification defines Ultra High Speed HDMI cables for up to 48 Gbps (HDMI 2.1) and Ultra96 HDMI cables for up to 96 Gbps (HDMI 2.2). [4]

Editorial note: the receptacle, board layout and cable together set the link's signal quality, so ask the supplier which HDMI generation the connector has been characterised for and request its footprint and layout guidance. [2] [4]

Give the supplier the connector type (A, Mini, Micro, automotive), HDMI generation and data rate, receptacle or plug, mounting (SMT, mid-mount, through-hole) and orientation, shielding and board thickness, current and voltage, mating life, plating thickness, housing material and flammability rating, reflow profile, temperature range, packaging and quantity.

02

Check electrical, mechanical and plating ratings

The HD11-19-MSMT-TR datasheet lists a 40 V AC rated voltage, 0.5 A rated current, contact resistance of 30 mΩ maximum (measured at 20 mV/100 mA), insulation resistance of 100 MΩ minimum at 500 V DC, 500 V AC withstand for one minute, insertion force of 4.5 kgf maximum, withdrawal force of 1.0–4.0 kgf, a life of 10,000 cycles, operation from −40 to 85 °C and UL94 V-0 flammability. [1]

Its materials are an LCP insulator, copper-alloy contacts (0.20 mm) with gold flash over nickel on the contact area and tin over nickel on the solder area, and a nickel-plated copper-alloy shell (0.50 mm); it is supplied on tape and reel for reflow soldering at up to 255–260 °C peak. [1]

Editorial calculation: 4.5 kgf × 9.81 ≈ 44 N maximum insertion force, and 1.0–4.0 kgf is about 10–39 N withdrawal force. [1]

03

Compare what suppliers offer

The companies in the manufacturer list below show this product on their own websites. Confirm the legal seller, factory and scope for your order.

Ask each supplier for the datasheet with HDMI version, contact resistance, insulation, withstand voltage, insertion and withdrawal forces, mating life, plating thickness, materials, reflow profile and PCB footprint. [1]

04

Trace what each part controls

This is a functional reference built from the sources cited; it is not one maker's specification.

05

Fill the specification fields with values for your board

An HDMI connector quotation needs values for your board. The table explains each field, gives published values where a reviewed source states them, and says what to obtain from the supplier.

06
