19-contact HDMI Type A receptacle, vertical SMT, 10000-cycle rated
The Molex 476591100 is a 19-contact HDMI Type A receptacle from the 47659 series, built for full-size HDMI interfaces in equipment that sees repeated plug/unplug cycles. It uses a vertical mounting orientation with a hybrid termination — surface-mount signal pads plus through-hole anchor legs — so the board gets both solder-joint reliability and mechanical retention against the insertion force of a standard HDMI cable. The standout spec here is the 10,000 mating cycle rating — that is double what most consumer HDMI receptacles carry. The 40 VDC voltage rating covers the hot-plug detect and control lines with margin. Black insulation and a built-in board guide with pick-and-place features make it production-friendly for automated assembly lines.
Shielding and signal integrity for high-speed HDMI
This is a shielded receptacle — the brass alloy shell surrounds the contact area and mates with the cable plug's shield to provide a continuous ground path. Tin on the solder tails is standard for the reflow process — the gold is only where it matters, at the wipe surface.
