The TE Connectivity 1888540-1 is a stacked receptacle that combines one HDMI port and one eSATA port in a single 26-contact, 2-port package. The connector mounts via panel flange in a horizontal orientation, with through-hole right-angle solder tails for the PCB — a layout that keeps the ports accessible at the panel edge while the board runs parallel to the chassis wall. The 10000-cycle mating life and gold or gold-palladium contact finish point to applications where the connector sees frequent connect/disconnect duty, such as test fixtures, A/V switchers, or industrial HMI panels.
Lifecycle — Obsolete, Sourced to Order
No pin-compatible drop-in replacement is documented; a board redesign or alternate connector selection may be required for new builds.
The connector uses a panel-mount flange with a horizontal orientation, combined with through-hole right-angle solder termination. The shielded shell (steel or stainless) provides EMI containment for the high-speed HDMI and eSATA signals. The 26 contacts are arranged across the two ports; the pinout for each follows the standard HDMI and eSATA definitions, though the exact assignment should be verified from the product drawing before committing the PCB layout.
