FAQ

Mini HDMI Connector FAQ

What is a Mini HDMI connector C type 19 pin?

A Mini HDMI connector C type 19 pin is a compact HDMI interface measuring 10.42 mm × 2.42 mm, designed for portable devices where space is limited. It maintains the same 19-pin signal capability as standard Type A HDMI but with a smaller footprint. This 19 pin HDMI Type C connector supports all HDMI features including 4K video, multi-channel audio, and Ethernet. The Mini HDMI plug PCB design allows direct board mounting for tablets, cameras, and handheld gaming devices.

What is the difference between straddle mount and SMT Mini HDMI?

Straddle mount Mini HDMI connectors mechanically clamp to the PCB edge, providing superior retention compared to pure SMT designs. The clamp PCB HDMI approach adds physical gripping force, making it ideal for devices subject to vibration, cable pull, or frequent mating. SMT-only connectors rely solely on solder joints, which may fail under mechanical stress. Straddle mount is the preferred choice for portable device HDMI applications like action cameras and drones.

Does this Mini HDMI connector support HDMI 2.1 and 8K?

Yes. The Mini HDMI connector C type 19 pin (HDMI-CM-1903) is pin-compatible with HDMI 2.1. The 19-pin layout is consistent across HDMI 1.4, 2.0, and 2.1. When paired with HDMI 2.1 cabling and chipsets, it supports up to 48 Gbps bandwidth, enabling 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, Dynamic HDR, VRR, and eARC. For full 48 Gbps performance, ensure your PCB layout follows HDMI Forum impedance guidelines.

What resolutions and features does this connector support?

This high speed video connector supports 8K@60Hz (with DSC), 4K@120Hz, 4K@60Hz, 1440p@144Hz, and 1080p@240Hz. It also supports advanced HDMI 2.1 features including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Quick Frame Transport (QFT), and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC). Audio capabilities include up to 32 channels of LPCM, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X. This makes it an ideal HDMI 2.1 connector for gaming handhelds and professional portable monitors.
