FAQ

DisplayPort PCB Connector FAQ

What is a 20 pin DisplayPort PCB connector?
A 20 pin DisplayPort PCB connector is a board‑mounted interface that transmits digital video and audio. It includes four data lanes, AUX channel, HPD, and power pins. This connector delivers up to 32.4 Gbps for 8K video using packetized transmission similar to PCI Express.
Clamp type vs SMT – which is better?
Clamp type DisplayPort connectors mechanically grip 1.6mm PCBs, outperforming SMT in vibration and pull‑force scenarios. SMT relies only on solder. The clamp adds physical retention, making it ideal for industrial and automotive applications.
Is it compatible with DisplayPort 2.1?
Yes. The 20 pin DisplayPort PCB connector (DP-M-03) is pin‑compatible with DisplayPort 2.1. The 20‑pin layout is unchanged across DP 1.2–2.1. For full 80 Gbps UHBR20 performance, follow VESA impedance guidelines in your PCB layout.
What resolutions does it support?
