Overview

Product Overview of the Micro HDMI connector

The micro HDMI connector (also called Type‑D) shrinks the standard 19‑pin HDMI interface down to 6.4 mm × 2.8 mm, enabling full HDMI connectivity where space is extremely limited. Unlike mini HDMI, the micro HDMI male connector keeps all 19 pins and preserves full electrical performance, including dual‑link DDC, hot plug detect, CEC and the high‑speed TMDS lanes necessary for uncompressed video up to 8K@60Hz.

Vistar’s 19‑pin micro HDMI male is purpose‑built for cable assembly and box‑build integration. The shell is deep‑drawn brass with a bright nickel barrier and selective gold‑plated copper‑alloy contacts that maintain a contact resistance below 30 mΩ over the rated insertion life. A rear crimp barrel accepts outer jacket diameters from 3.0 mm to 5.5 mm and provides excellent strain relief when overmolding is not used.

High‑temperature LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) insulator and stainless‑steel latching tabs ensure that the plug stays securely seated in the receptacle even under vibration, making the micro HDMI male connector a reliable choice for action cameras, drones, industrial vision systems and portable medical monitors.

For a wider view on HDMI interface design, the HDMI 2.1 Specification published by HDMI Licensing Administrator details the transmission requirements supported by this connector. Additional implementation guidelines can be found in the HDMI technical overview on Wikipedia.

Why Engineers Choose This 19 Pin HDMI Male Connector

🎥

Full HDMI 2.1 Signal Fidelity

All 19 contacts are precisely aligned for 48 Gbps transmission. FRL (Fixed Rate Link) signaling supports uncompressed 8K video, eARC, and dynamic HDR passthrough without any pin reduction.

🛡️

Robust Mechanical Retention

Dual stainless‑steel locking springs create a positive latch in the receptacle. The connector withstands 3.5 kgf pull force and stays connected during drone flight or handheld recording.

📏

Ultra‑Compact Solder‑Cup Design

At just 6.4 mm × 2.8 mm body size, the rear solder cups simplify hand‑soldering or automated cable stripping, drastically reducing assembly time and shrinking the over‑mold envelope.

Applications

Applications of Micro HDMI Male Cable Connector

📸 Digital Cameras & DSLRs Lightweight video output from mirrorless cameras, action cams, and cinema rigs that require faithful 4K/8K playback on external monitors.

🚁 Drones & FPV Systems Low‑profile connector minimizes drag while delivering live HD video feed to goggles, ground stations, or onboard AI processors.

🖥️ Embedded Single‑Board Computers Mates with Raspberry Pi 4/5, Jetson Nano, and industrial carrier boards for portable signage, digital kiosks, and edge‑AI demonstrators.

🏥 Medical & Handheld Testers Secure, compact HD output for portable ultrasound, endoscopic cameras and field measurement instruments that demand reliable high‑resolution display.

Micro HDMI Male Connector – Frequently Asked Questions

Can this 19‑pin micro HDMI male support 4K@120Hz or 8K video?

Yes. The connector meets HDMI 2.1 Category 3 requirements and handles 48 Gbps signalling. When used with a compliant cable and source, it passes 4K@120Hz, 8K@60Hz, and dynamic HDR10+/Dolby Vision metadata. Back‑compatibility with HDMI 1.4 and 2.0 is maintained.

Is this micro HDMI plug compatible with all Type‑D receptacles?

Absolutely. The mechanical and electrical interface follows the HDMI Type‑D standard. It mates with any 19‑pin micro HDMI (Type‑D) receptacle on cameras, SBCs, monitors, and adapters from major manufacturers like Sony, Raspberry Pi, GoPro, and Nvidia. Always confirm the receptacle orientation before specifying the overmould direction.

How do I solder the 19 pins on this cable connector?

We recommend using a fine‑tip soldering iron (320 – 350 °C) with no‑clean flux. The solder cups are arranged in two rows; start with the inner row, work outwards, and use heat‑shrink tubing on individual wires before applying the overall shield termination.
