HDMI Type A 19-Pin Plugs & PCB Sockets
HDMI Type A 19-pin connectors for PCB assembly and equipment repair
This collection contains standard-size HDMI Type A 19-pin male solder plugs and female PCB receptacles. The socket listing provides seven product-defined body and footprint choices labeled Type-1 through Type-7, with 5- or 10-piece pack options. These variant labels identify shapes within that listing; they should not be confused with HDMI connector families such as Type A, Type C or Type D.
Products in this collection
- Type A male solder plugs: 19-pin cable-end or repair connectors sold in 5- and 10-piece packs.
- Type A female PCB sockets: 19-pin surface-mount receptacles in seven listed mechanical configurations, each available in 5- or 10-piece packs.
How to choose an HDMI connector
- Confirm the connector family: the listed products are standard-size 19-pin HDMI Type A parts. Do not select them for Mini HDMI Type C, Micro HDMI Type D or automotive Type E interfaces.
- Choose plug or receptacle: the male plug is intended for a mating cable-end or repair assembly; the female socket mounts to a PCB.
- Match the exact footprint: compare signal-pad spacing, shell tabs, locating posts, body height, board-edge offset and connector depth with the original part or PCB drawing.
- Check mounting orientation: verify vertical or right-angle geometry, top- or mid-mount position and the direction from which the mating plug enters.
- Review soldering requirements: 19 closely spaced contacts and shell anchors require suitable tools, alignment, temperature control and inspection.
- Confirm system capability: connector appearance alone does not prove HDMI version, bandwidth, resolution, refresh rate, audio features, Ethernet channel or power capability.
Mechanical fit versus HDMI performance
A connector can fit mechanically while still being unsuitable for the target signal performance. HDMI bandwidth depends on the complete transmission path, including the source and display, PCB stack-up, controlled-impedance routing, pair length matching, return paths, ESD design, solder quality and cable construction. Select the connector by both footprint and verified electrical data.
Type-1 to Type-7 socket options
The Type-1 through Type-7 names are seller option labels for different receptacle geometries. They are not standardized HDMI type names and do not establish interchangeability. Before ordering, compare clear product images and dimensions with the removed socket, including every mounting leg and shield tab.
Repair and prototyping boundaries
Replacing an HDMI connector does not repair damaged signal-processing ICs, ESD arrays, torn PCB pads or broken traces. For cable-end work, pin-to-pin continuity and shielding must be verified after assembly. Hand-wired or breakout-style routing is generally unsuitable for claiming high-bandwidth performance without validation.
Specifications and compliance
No collection-wide claim is made for HDMI 2.0, HDMI 2.1, 4K, 8K, a specific data rate, eARC, HDCP, automotive use, waterproofing, contact plating or certification. Apply only specifications supported for the exact selected product and validate the completed assembly in its intended system.
Ordering checklist
- Standard HDMI Type A, 19 pins
- Male solder plug or female PCB receptacle
- Exact pad and shell-tab footprint
- Body height and board-edge position
- Mating direction and mounting orientation
- Type-1 to Type-7 socket geometry
- 5- or 10-piece pack quantity
Frequently asked questions
Are Type-1 through Type-7 different HDMI standards?
No. They are option labels for different socket shapes in one listing, not official HDMI connector-family names or performance levels.
Does every 19-pin Type A connector support 4K or 8K?
Not automatically. Resolution and data rate depend on the connector design and the complete source, PCB and cable signal path.
Can one HDMI PCB socket replace another if both have 19 pins?
Not necessarily. Pad patterns, shield tabs, locating posts, height and board position can differ substantially.
Are Mini HDMI and Micro HDMI included?
No. The products currently represented here are standard-size HDMI Type A connectors.
Is replacing the damaged socket enough to fix an HDMI port?
Only when the fault is limited to the connector and its solder joints. Inspect pads, traces, protection components and related circuitry before repair.
