HDMI Type A Receptacle — 19-Pin Panel-Mount for Fixed Installations
The TE Connectivity 2-1747981-3 is a full-size HDMI Type A receptacle carrying the standard 19-contact pinout. It is specified for applications where the HDMI port must be anchored to a panel or enclosure rather than floating on a cable — think wall plates, kiosk I/O panels, AV receivers, or industrial display interfaces where the mating plug is inserted and removed repeatedly over the product's life. The connector supports three mounting methods in one body: panel mount with a flange for horizontal orientation, surface-mount right-angle for PCB edge placement, and through-hole for additional mechanical retention. This flexibility means the same part number can be used across different enclosure designs without requalifying a new connector. Gold contact finish is standard on the mating interface, paired with a copper alloy shell/shielding material.
10,000 Mating Cycles — Built for Frequent Plug/Unplug Duty
The headline durability figure here is 10,000 mating cycles — roughly 10x what a standard consumer HDMI connector is rated for. That rating tells you the contact beam and plating are designed for field-service scenarios where the cable is connected and disconnected daily over years, not just at initial installation. This is the spec that separates a panel-mount HDMI for a test station or public kiosk from a basic board-edge HDMI inside a TV that sees a handful of mates in its lifetime. The 40 VAC voltage rating matches the standard HDMI low-voltage signal environment.
