HDMI Type A Receptacle for High-Cycle Consumer and Industrial Video
The Molex 1051561006 is a 19-position HDMI Type A receptacle from the 105156 series, designed for surface-mount right-angle or through-hole board attachment. It carries the standard HDMI pinout — 19 contacts on a 0.5 mm pitch — and is shielded with a copper alloy shell to contain the differential pair signals up to HDMI 2.0 data rates. Gold contact finish and a rated 10000 mating cycles make this connector a fit for applications where the port sees frequent plugging, such as test equipment, kiosk displays, or AV switching gear.
Mounting and Board Layout
The connector supports both surface-mount right-angle and through-hole mounting — the SMD version is the standard for automated pick-and-place assembly, while the through-hole option adds mechanical retention for boards that see cable strain. The 0.5A per contact rating is consistent with HDMI signal lines; the limiting factor for power delivery is the contact density, not the contact material.
Signal Integrity and Shielding
Shielded construction with a copper alloy shell contains high-frequency differential pair emissions. The 10000 mating cycle rating exceeds typical consumer HDMI connectors.
