HDMI 1.4 Receptacle for Board-Edge Integration
It carries the full HDMI 1.4 specification — enough for 1080p video and audio return channel in consumer A/V gear, set-top boxes, and monitor input ports.
What the 10000 Mating Cycles Mean for Your Build
The 10000 mating cycle rating is the standout spec here. A standard consumer HDMI port is good for maybe 5000 cycles; this one doubles that. The gold-plated contacts handle the wear — the brass shell/shielding material takes the mechanical abuse. For a front-panel port that sees daily plugging and unplugging — test equipment, public kiosk displays, or a lab monitor that gets re-cabled weekly — this connector holds up years longer than a commodity part.
Mounting and Termination — Hybrid Hold
The mounting type is listed as both Surface Mount, Right Angle and Through Hole. That is unusual for a single connector and suggests a hybrid design: the signal pins reflow onto SMD pads while additional through-hole posts anchor the connector body to the board. The shielded shell is soldered to ground traces to contain EMI from the high-speed differential pairs.
