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.

For engineers designing consumer electronics, docking stations, and embedded systems, SMT HDMI connectors provide a reliable, cost-effective solution for board-level HDMI interfaces.
Right-Angle SMT HDMI Connector — When to Use It
Choosing a right-angle SMT HDMI connector offers several benefits for compact electronic designs. The right-angle orientation positions the cable parallel to the PCB, making it ideal for PCB edge mounting where space is limited. The horizontal cable exit reduces vertical height requirements and simplifies cable routing inside the enclosure.
For applications where vertical space is at a premium — such as slim media players, docking stations, and embedded systems — the right-angle SMT HDMI connector is often the preferred choice. It provides reliable HDMI connectivity while maintaining a low profile.
How to Choose Between SMT and Through-Hole HDMI Connectors
When selecting an HDMI connector, consider your manufacturing process and mechanical requirements. SMT is preferred for high-volume automated assembly and compact PCB layouts. Through-hole is preferred for applications requiring maximum mechanical strength, such as industrial equipment and high-reliability systems. The HDMI-AF-1909 is an SMT connector — if you need a through-hole option, consider our DIP HDMI connector.
