DisplayPort Connector Female DIP Right Angle 20 Pin — DP-F-01 Product Overview
The DP-F-01 is a DisplayPort connector female DIP right angle 20 pin — a full-size DisplayPort female receptacle (jack) engineered for right-angle through-hole PCB mounting. Manufactured by Vistar Electronics, the DP-F-01 is the standard DisplayPort port connector for desktop monitors, gaming displays, AV equipment, docking stations, industrial panel PCs, and embedded display controller PCBs where a side-panel DisplayPort input or output port is required with robust mechanical anchoring.
The right-angle DIP orientation of the DP-F-01 DisplayPort DIP connector positions the DisplayPort socket opening perpendicular to the PCB surface and parallel to the board edge — the cable exits the connector laterally toward the side of the board. This is the classic configuration for rear-panel and side-panel DisplayPort ports on desktop monitors, set-top boxes, video processing units, and PCIe add-in cards where the DisplayPort cable runs horizontally away from the PCB assembly through a chassis panel cutout. Combined with the through-hole DIP anchoring, this orientation resists the lateral cable strain forces that are characteristic of side-panel connectors in real-world use.
The through-hole DisplayPort female receptacle PCB mounting method of the DP-F-01 drives the connector’s pins through plated through-holes in the PCB and solders them on the back side, creating mechanical bonds on both sides of the board. This provides far greater pull-out resistance and resistance to cable side-loads than SMT mounting — a critical advantage for a full-size DisplayPort receptacle that receives repeated cable insertions and is subject to lateral cable tension during normal use. The DIP through-hole approach also enables wave-soldering process integration, simplifying high-volume production assembly for monitors and AV equipment manufacturers.
The DP-F-01 carries the complete 20-pin VESA DisplayPort female signal assignment — all four Main Link differential pairs (ML_Lane 0–3), the AUX channel (AUX_CH+ and AUX_CH−), Hot Plug Detect (HPD), CONFIG1, CONFIG2, and power/ground pins. This full 20-pin implementation supports DisplayPort 1.2 (up to 4K@60Hz, HBR2 21.6 Gbps) and DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 8K@60Hz with DSC, HBR3 32.4 Gbps), as well as forward-compatible use with DisplayPort 2.0 source devices.
According to the VESA DisplayPort Specification, the full-size DisplayPort receptacle (female jack) is the board-mounted connector that receives the DisplayPort plug from a cable or source device. The DP-F-01 is mechanically and electrically compliant with this specification, ensuring compatibility with all standard full-size DisplayPort cables and plugs on the market.
The right angle DisplayPort jack 20 pin DP-F-01 is rated at 0.5A per contact with a maximum insertion force of 35N and minimum withdrawal retention of 8N. The 5,000-cycle mating life rating meets commercial-grade display port durability requirements for monitors, workstations, and display controller boards. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide stable low contact resistance across all 20 signal pins throughout the connector’s service life. The zinc alloy shell provides EMI shielding for the high-frequency differential signals that DisplayPort 1.4 transmits at up to 8.1 Gbps per lane.
The LCP insulator body is rated for wave soldering temperature profiles, enabling the DP-F-01 to be assembled using standard through-hole wave soldering production processes. Available in tray and reel packaging to support both manual assembly and high-volume automated production. OEM customisation — including alternative shell plating, pin configurations, and packaging formats — is available for volume orders.

Why Engineers Choose the DP-F-01 Through-Hole DisplayPort Female Receptacle PCB for Robust Rear-Panel Ports
DIP Through-Hole — Maximum Pull-Out & Side-Load Resistance
Through-hole pins pass through the PCB and are soldered on both sides, creating a mechanically robust dual-anchored joint. This provides far greater resistance to the cable pull-out forces and lateral side-loads applied by DisplayPort cables in real-world monitor and AV equipment installations — where cables may hang vertically, be pulled sideways, or experience accidental strain during panel access.
Right-Angle Orientation — Standard Rear/Side-Panel Port Configuration
The 90° right-angle orientation exits the DisplayPort socket toward the PCB board edge — the definitive configuration for rear-panel and side-panel DP ports on desktop monitors, PCs, AV processors, and PCIe cards. Compatible with standard panel cutout dimensions for full-size DisplayPort, enabling direct integration into existing product chassis tooling without design changes.
DisplayPort 1.2 / 1.4 Compatible — Up to 8K@60Hz
Full 20-pin VESA female receptacle signal assignment supports DP 1.2 (4K@60Hz, HBR2 21.6 Gbps) and DP 1.4 (8K@60Hz with DSC, HBR3 32.4 Gbps). All four Main Link lanes, AUX channel, HPD, and power pins are fully implemented — enabling the complete DisplayPort feature set including HDR, MST daisy-chaining, DSC, and adaptive sync (FreeSync / G-Sync).
Zinc Alloy Shell — EMI Shielding for High-Speed DP Signals
The continuous zinc alloy metal shell enclosing the DP-F-01 body provides effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for the sensitive high-frequency DisplayPort differential pairs — particularly important for DP 1.4’s 8.1 Gbps-per-lane HBR3 signals that are susceptible to external RF interference and radiated emissions. The shell grounds to the PCB through the shell pins, completing the shielding return path.
Wave Solder Compatible — High-Volume Production Integration
The LCP insulator body and stainless steel shell withstand standard wave soldering temperature profiles, enabling the DP-F-01 to be assembled on high-volume through-hole wave solder production lines used by monitor and AV equipment manufacturers. Available in reel packaging for automated through-hole insertion machines and tray packaging for manual assembly.
RoHS 3 & REACH Compliant — Globally Export Ready
Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC substance regulations. RoHS declarations of conformity and REACH SVHC substance statements available on request for EU CE marking, supply chain qualification audits, and customer documentation programs — ready for all major regulated global export markets.

DP-F-01 DisplayPort Female DIP Right Angle Connector — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the DP-F-01 DIP right-angle and an SMT DisplayPort connector?
The DP-F-01 DIP through-hole connector drives its pins through drilled holes in the PCB and solders from the back side, creating a mechanically robust dual-anchored joint with high pull-out and side-load resistance. This is the preferred choice for side-panel ports that experience regular cable insertion and cable tension in final product installations.
An SMT DisplayPort connector (such as the DP-F06B vertical SMT) solders only to pads on the PCB surface top layer, offering lower PCB area requirements and SMT reflow assembly compatibility — but with reduced mechanical pull-out strength compared to DIP mounting. Choose DIP when mechanical robustness is the priority; choose SMT when automated SMT reflow assembly compatibility or minimal PCB footprint is required.
What DisplayPort versions does the DP-F-01 support?
The DP-F-01 is a passive 20-pin DisplayPort female receptacle supporting DisplayPort 1.2 and DisplayPort 1.4 signal assignments. As a passive connector it does not limit the protocol version — actual supported version is determined by the source device (GPU/display controller), the cable, and the sink display.
- DP 1.2: up to 4K@60Hz (HBR2, 21.6 Gbps total bandwidth)
- DP 1.4: up to 8K@60Hz with DSC compression (HBR3, 32.4 Gbps)
- DP 2.0: forward-compatible for use with DP 2.0 source controllers
For full protocol details, see the VESA DisplayPort specification.
Does the DP-F-01 support DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C?
The DP-F-01 is a standalone DisplayPort female receptacle — it does not directly support DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C. DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C requires a USB-C connector with a DP Alt Mode mux controller IC on the host PCB.
In a typical docking station design, the USB-C port with Alt Mode mux IC on the PCB outputs a standard DisplayPort signal, which then feeds the DP-F-01 receptacle as the physical output port. In this architecture the DP-F-01 serves as the panel-mounted DisplayPort output that the user connects a DP cable to — it does not itself handle the USB-C Alt Mode negotiation.
Is the DP-F-01 compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables via an adapter?
Yes. The DP-F-01 is a standard full-size DisplayPort female receptacle and is compatible with any full-size DisplayPort plug — including Mini DP to full-size DP adapter cables. A passive Mini DP-to-DP adapter cable can connect a Mini DP source device (such as an older MacBook or FPGA board with Mini DP output) to the DP-F-01 full-size receptacle without any active components, since Mini DP and full-size DP are electrically identical on the 20-pin signal assignment.
What assembly process is recommended for the DP-F-01?
The DP-F-01 supports two through-hole assembly methods:
- Wave soldering: the standard process for through-hole PCB production. Insert the connector into the PCB holes and pass through the wave solder machine. The LCP insulator body and zinc alloy shell are rated for wave soldering temperature profiles.
- Hand soldering: suitable for prototyping, low-volume production, and rework. Solder each pin individually with a soldering iron.
PCB layout note: the DP-F-01 requires through-holes for all signal and shell ground pins. Ensure the PCB edge routing and panel cutout dimensions allow the connector shell to align flush with the panel aperture. The product datasheet (request from sales@vistarelectronics.com) provides the precise footprint dimensions, hole sizes, and panel cutout specifications.
How does the DP-F-01 compare to other Vistar DisplayPort connectors?
Vistar offers multiple DisplayPort connector configurations to suit different PCB layout and assembly requirements:
- DP-F-01 (this product): Female receptacle, DIP through-hole, right-angle — maximum mechanical strength for side-panel ports, wave-solder assembly
- DP-F06B: Female receptacle, SMT, vertical (upright) — SMT reflow assembly, top-facing port
- DP-F-02: Female receptacle, SMT, top mount (horizontal) — SMT reflow, upward-facing port
- DP-M-01: Male plug, straddle mount — PCB edge clamp, full-size DP male output
- DP-MN-M01: Mini DP male plug, straddle mount — compact PCB edge male output
Choose the DP-F-01 when through-hole mechanical robustness and wave-solder compatibility are the primary requirements for your DisplayPort port design.
