Vertical Mount HDMI Connector Female 19 Pin SMT Through Hole

A vertical mount HDMI connector female 19 pin is a Type-A HDMI receptacle that mounts perpendicular to the PCB surface, with the port facing upward or downward at 180°. This female 19 pin HDMI connector uses a hybrid mounting approach: SMT signal pins for automated assembly compatibility and through-hole metal brackets for robust mechanical retention. The HDMI Type A vertical orientation is ideal for devices with limited front-panel space, stacked PCB designs, and applications requiring top or bottom cable entry.

Vertical mount HDMI connectors sit perpendicular to the PCB (180°), with the port facing up or down. Right-angle HDMI connectors sit parallel to the PCB (90°), with the port facing the board edge. Vertical mounts are preferred when the enclosure design requires cable entry from the top or bottom, or when multiple PCBs are stacked closely together. Right-angle mounts are better for side-panel cable entry. Both use the same 19-pin layout and are fully compatible with all HDMI cables.

Yes — the 19-pin physical interface used on the HDMI-AF-1915 hasn’t changed across HDMI 1.4, 2.0, and 2.1, so it works with any of them. Pair it with HDMI 2.1 cabling and a compatible source/sink chipset and you get the full 48 Gbps FRL bandwidth, which is what unlocks 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, Dynamic HDR, VRR, and eARC. To actually hit 48 Gbps in practice, follow HDMI Forum’s impedance-controlled routing guidance for the differential pairs on your board.

The 19 pin HDMI receptacle pinout is standardized across all HDMI versions: Pins 1–3 = TMDS Data 2+/- and Shield; Pins 4–6 = TMDS Data 1+/- and Shield; Pins 7–9 = TMDS Data 0+/- and Shield; Pins 10–12 = TMDS Clock+/- and Shield; Pin 13 = CEC; Pin 14 = Reserved/HEAC+ (HDMI 1.4+); Pins 15–16 = DDC Clock (SCL) and Data (SDA); Pin 17 = DDC/CEC Ground; Pin 18 = +5V Power (max 55mA); Pin 19 = Hot Plug Detect (HPD). In HDMI 2.1 FRL mode, the TMDS clock pair is repurposed as an additional data lane, delivering 4×12 Gbps channels for 48 Gbps total bandwidth.

The SMT through hole HDMI hybrid design offers dual advantages: SMT signal pins enable automated pick-and-place assembly and reflow soldering, reducing manufacturing costs and improving consistency. The through-hole metal shell brackets provide superior mechanical retention against cable insertion force, vibration, and accidental cable pulls. This combination is ideal for high-reliability applications including industrial equipment, digital signage, and public kiosks where connectors experience frequent use.

Yes — the HDMI-AF-1915 is built with lead-free solder plating and halogen-free UL94V-0 thermoplastic housing, meeting RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC requirements under environmentally controlled manufacturing. Compliance certificates and material declarations are available on request for OEM/ODM customers who need documentation for CE marking or supply-chain audits.

Yes. Because it’s rated for -40°C to +85°C with 5,000-cycle durability and a stainless steel EMI shield, the vertical HDMI-AF-1915 holds up well in HMI panels, digital signage, public kiosks, medical imaging equipment, and arcade gaming machines. The vertical orientation specifically pays off in rack-mounted equipment and control cabinets where PCBs are stacked and there simply isn’t room for a connector running along the board edge. Custom variants with enhanced retention, conformal coating, and extended temperature ratings are available on request.
