HDMI 2.1 Receptacle for High-Bandwidth Video
The Molex 2086581001 is a 19-contact HDMI receptacle built to the HDMI 2.1 specification, supporting the higher data rates needed for 4K at 120 Hz and 8K at 60 Hz.
What the 10000 Mating Cycles Mean for Your Build
The 10000-cycle rating is the standout spec here. Standard HDMI receptacles on consumer gear are usually rated for 5000 to 10000 cycles, but the 2086581001 lands at the high end of that range. The gold-on-brass contact finish resists wear and oxidation through repeated mates, so the connector maintains consistent contact resistance across its service life. If your design calls for a port that sees frequent cable swaps — think AV test racks, digital signage, or production line programming jigs — this receptacle is specced for that duty without the contact degradation you'd see from a tin-plated part.
The 2086581001 is listed with both Surface Mount, Right Angle and Through Hole mounting options, though the SMD right-angle variant is the one typically used for HDMI ports on modern PCBs. The solder termination is standard for this connector class. The black insulation color is standard for HDMI receptacles and provides visual contrast for alignment during assembly.
Electrical Ratings and Operating Range
Rated at 0.5A per contact and 40VDC, the current and voltage limits are typical for HDMI signal lines — the connector is designed for data transmission, not power delivery. The ROHS3 compliance confirms it meets the latest EU restriction standards for hazardous substances.
