HDMI 2.1 Receptacle — 19 Contacts, Shielded, 10000 Mating Cycles
The Molex 2086581102 is a 19-contact HDMI 2.1 receptacle from the 208658 series, designed for surface-mount right-angle board attachment with additional through-hole retention posts. It carries a 0.5A per contact rating at 40VDC, and the full metal shield — brass shell with gold-over-nickel contacts — provides the EMI containment needed for HDMI 2.1's higher data rates.
This receptacle uses a hybrid mounting approach: the signal contacts are SMT soldered, while the shell legs pass through the PCB for additional mechanical retention. The flange with horizontal mounting feature provides a flush face for panel-mount applications where the connector sits against a chassis cutout.
Mating Cycle Life and Signal Integrity
Rated for 10000 mating cycles. The gold contact finish preserves low contact resistance across those cycles.
