19-Pin Mini HDMI Receptacle for SMD Assembly
The TE Connectivity 2013978-1 is a 19-contact Mini HDMI receptacle, the smaller form-factor version of the standard HDMI Type A connector. It's the port side of the link, designed to be soldered directly onto a PCB using a surface-mount, right-angle footprint. The 19 contacts match the full HDMI signal set — TMDS data lanes, clock, DDC, CEC, and hot-plug detect — so it handles standard HDMI 1.4 and 2.0 signaling, though the 0.5A per-contact current rating keeps it in the signal domain, not power delivery.
Right-Angle SMT with Solder Retention
The Solder Retention feature means the connector has extra surface-mount anchor tabs — not just the signal pins — to take the mechanical load of cable insertion and removal. That's a practical detail: without those retention tabs, the SMT joints on the signal pins alone would fatigue over repeated mates. The mounting method is listed as both Surface Mount, Right Angle and Through Hole, which suggests the part may have optional through-hole alignment posts for additional board hold-down, though the primary termination is solder reflow.
5000 Mating Cycles and Environmental Range
The 5000-cycle mating durability is the standout spec here. A standard HDMI jack on a TV or set-top box is usually rated for 10,000 cycles, but a Mini HDMI in a portable device or camera dock sees fewer cycles in its lifetime.
