Recommended PCB Footprint

When designing the PCB footprint for this DIP HDMI PCB mount connector, follow these guidelines to ensure proper fit and reliable solder joints:

• Plated Through-Hole Diameter: 0.90mm — 1.00mm for signal pins; 1.20mm for shell grounding tabs
• Pad Diameter: 1.60mm for signal pins; 2.00mm for shell tabs (recommended for reliable solder fillet formation)
• Pin Spacing: Follow the connector’s datasheet for exact row-to-row and pin-to-pin dimensions — HDMI uses a staggered 0.50mm pitch between adjacent contacts
• PCB Thickness: 1.60mm standard; verify pin length matches board thickness for proper protrusion

Right-Angle Connector Positioning

For this right angle HDMI connector DIP, position the connector at the PCB edge with the port opening facing outward. Allow at least 2mm of clearance beyond the board edge for the connector body and cable insertion. The shell grounding tabs should make solid contact with PCB ground planes for optimal EMI performance.

High-Speed Routing Guidelines

HDMI signals operate at high frequencies — proper routing is essential for signal integrity:

• Route TMDS differential pairs with 100Ω ±10% differential impedance
• Keep trace lengths matched within 5 mil for each differential pair
• Maintain minimum 8 mil spacing between differential pairs and other signals
• Place the connector near the HDMI controller IC to minimize trace length
• Use a solid ground plane beneath the connector for return current paths

Mechanical Keep-Out Area

Reserve a keep-out area of at least 2mm around the connector body on all sides to allow for wave soldering, inspection, and cable clearance. No components should be placed in this area.

What Is a 19 Pin HDMI Connector DIP?

A 19 pin HDMI connector DIP is a through-hole HDMI Type A female receptacle designed for PCB mounting using dual in-line package (DIP) technology. The HDMI-AF-1912 is a right-angle variant, meaning the connector mounts perpendicular to the PCB with the port opening facing the board edge. This right angle HDMI connector DIP configuration is ideal for rear-panel access in rackmount equipment, industrial enclosures, and slim consumer devices where cables need to exit horizontally from the chassis.

The 19-pin configuration is the standard for HDMI Type A connectors — the most common HDMI format found on televisions, monitors, gaming consoles, and AV equipment. These 19 pins carry digital video, multi-channel audio, control signals (CEC, DDC), and a +5V power line through a single cable. The through-hole DIP mounting provides superior mechanical retention compared to SMT alternatives, making this connector suitable for applications subject to vibration, frequent cable insertion, and mechanical stress.

Why Choose a Through-Hole HDMI Receptacle?

A through-hole HDMI receptacle offers several advantages over surface-mount alternatives. First, the through-hole pins pass completely through the PCB and are soldered on both sides, creating a mechanically robust dual-anchored joint. This provides significantly higher pull-out resistance — critical for ports that experience regular cable insertion and cable tension. Second, through-hole mounting is compatible with wave soldering processes, making it suitable for high-volume manufacturing. Third, through-hole connectors are generally easier to rework or repair than SMT connectors, as the solder joints are accessible from both sides of the board.

For industrial applications, automotive infotainment systems, medical equipment, and any product subject to vibration or mechanical stress, the through-hole HDMI receptacle is often the preferred choice. The trade-off is that through-hole connectors require drilled holes in the PCB and typically occupy more board space than SMT alternatives.

HDMI 2.1 and 48 Gbps Bandwidth

The HDMI-AF-1912 is designed to support HDMI 2.1 data rates up to 48 Gbps when paired with compatible source devices and cable assemblies. This bandwidth enables 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, and HDR video transmission — making it suitable for next-generation display applications. The connector itself is a passive component; the actual supported HDMI version depends on the source chipset, cable, and sink display. However, the 19-pin signal assignment and contact construction are fully compatible with HDMI 2.1 requirements, including the four TMDS data lanes that carry the high-speed video signals.

For engineers designing products that require the highest video quality — professional monitors, medical imaging displays, gaming systems, and broadcast equipment — this HDMI 2.1-ready connector provides the bandwidth and signal integrity needed for demanding applications.

DIP HDMI PCB Mount — Design and Assembly Considerations

When incorporating a DIP HDMI PCB mount connector into your design, several factors require careful attention. The PCB footprint must include plated through-holes with the correct diameter — typically 0.90mm to 1.00mm for signal pins and 1.20mm for shell grounding tabs. The pad diameter should be 1.60mm for signal pins and 2.00mm for shell tabs to ensure reliable solder fillet formation.

The right-angle orientation requires the connector to be positioned at the PCB edge, with the port opening facing outward. Allow at least 2mm of clearance beyond the board edge for the connector body and cable insertion. The shell grounding tabs should make solid contact with PCB ground planes for optimal EMI performance — this is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-frequency HDMI applications.

High-speed routing is essential for HDMI performance. The TMDS differential pairs must be routed with 100Ω ±10% differential impedance. Trace lengths should be matched within 5 mil for each differential pair, and minimum 8 mil spacing should be maintained between differential pairs and other signals. Placing the connector near the HDMI controller IC minimizes trace length and reduces signal degradation.

Applications Across Industries

This Type A HDMI female connector is widely used across multiple industries. In industrial control panels, it provides reliable HDMI video output for HMI displays and automation equipment. Digital signage systems rely on it for 4K/8K video transmission in commercial displays and video walls. Gaming consoles and peripherals benefit from its HDMI 2.1-ready design for high-refresh-rate gaming. Home theater equipment, medical imaging workstations, automotive infotainment systems, test equipment, and broadcast AV devices all benefit from the HDMI-AF-1912’s mechanical durability and high-bandwidth capability.
