19 Pin HDMI PCB Mount Connector: SMT vs Through-Hole — Which One to Choose?
When selecting a 19 pin HDMI PCB mount connector, understanding the differences between SMT and through-hole mounting is essential. The table below compares the key characteristics.
| Feature | SMT HDMI Connector (HDMI-AF-1909) | Through-Hole HDMI Connector |
|---|---|---|
| PCB Mounting | Surface Mount — pads on PCB surface | Through-Hole — pins pass through PCB |
| PCB Holes Required | No — surface pads only | Yes — drilled holes |
| Assembly Process | Reflow Soldering — automated | Wave / Selective Soldering |
| PCB Density | Higher — no through-hole clearance | Lower — requires hole clearance |
| Mechanical Strength | Good — pad design + anchor tabs | Higher — dual-sided solder joints |
| Best For | Compact Electronics, High-Volume Production | Industrial Equipment, High-Reliability |
The HDMI-AF-1909 is an SMT connector. Choose this for compact PCB designs and automated assembly. For applications requiring maximum mechanical strength, consider our through-hole HDMI connector options.
PCB Mount HDMI Receptacle — Right-Angle Design for Compact Enclosures
A right-angle PCB mount HDMI receptacle offers several distinct advantages for designers working on space-constrained electronic devices. The right-angle orientation positions the HDMI cable parallel to the PCB surface, significantly reducing the vertical space required compared to vertical connectors.
Key Advantages
- Saves vertical space: The low-profile design allows for slim enclosures and thinner product profiles.
- Supports horizontal cable insertion: Cables exit parallel to the board, ideal for devices placed in tight spaces.
- PCB edge mounting: The connector can be placed at the board edge with the port flush against the enclosure.
- Optimizes enclosure layout: Horizontal routing reduces internal cable clutter and improves airflow.
- Reduces connector height above PCB: Suitable for applications where vertical clearance is at a premium.
