The Molex 5002541931 is a 19-contact HDMI receptacle from the Series 500254 family, designed as a single-port shielded connector for consumer and commercial A/V interfaces. The mounting combines a surface-mount right-angle solder termination with through-hole retention posts and a horizontal flange — a layout that stabilizes the connector against the insertion force of an HDMI plug.
Mounting and Board Layout
The dual mounting scheme — Surface Mount, Right Angle plus Through Hole — is less common on HDMI receptacles. The SMT pads handle the signal contacts; the through-hole posts anchor the connector body to the PCB, taking the mechanical load off the fine-pitch solder joints when the cable is inserted or removed. The horizontal flange provides additional panel-mount stability in enclosures where the connector face sits flush with the chassis wall.
If a redesign is feasible, a current-production HDMI receptacle from the same series or a compatible alternative should be evaluated against the board footprint and panel cutout.
