19-Position Micro HDMI Receptacle for Compact AV Ports
The Amphenol FCI 10118242-001RLF is a 19-contact micro HDMI receptacle designed for space-constrained audio/video interfaces in portable electronics, tablets, and embedded systems. It sits in the 10118242 series as the variant with solder retention features, distinguishing it from the base 10118241-001RLF sibling. The 0.3A per contact rating and 40VDC voltage limit are typical for HDMI signal lines — the connector handles digital video and audio data streams, not power delivery. Gold-plated contacts and a 5000-cycle mating life make it suited for frequent plug/unplug duty at a device edge.
0.3A Signal Rating and 5000-Cycle Gold Contacts
The 0.3A per contact rating is the current ceiling for each of the 19 pins — this is a signal connector, not a power interconnect. The gold contact finish supports the 5000 mating cycles, which is high for a micro form factor; the wipe on each mate stays clean over repeated connections in a tablet dock or camera port.
Solder Retention vs. Standard: 10118241-001RLF Comparison
The 10118242-001RLF adds solder retention features that the 10118241-001RLF lacks. Both are 19-contact micro HDMI receptacles with identical electrical ratings (0.3A, 40VDC) and 5000-cycle gold contacts. The solder retention provides extra mechanical hold on the PCB pads during reflow and under cable strain — a meaningful difference if the connector sits at a frequently flexed board edge. For a fixed internal mount where retention is less critical, the 10118241-001RLF is a cost-effective alternative.
