Mini connectors

JAE Europe has introduced connectors meeting the HDMI type C (mini HDMI) format.

The receptacle for the DC2 connectors is 3.3 mm high.

Family members introduced so far include three types of surface-mount receptacles and a cable plug featuring friction locking for convenience and security.

The receptacles offer designers the choice of flangless, side- or up-flange configurations, for design into products from pocket-sized devices to larger handheld products such as HD video cameras.

The standard uses a 0.4 mm pitch, with 19 pins in single-line configuration. This reduces the maximum receptacle height from 6.2 mm in HDMI type-A connectors to 3.3 mm and allows receptacle width to be reduced from 15.0 to 11.3 mm.

The corresponding cable plug is also miniaturised from 20.9 mm width to 14.0 mm and 11.45 mm height to 8.4 mm.

The DC2 connectors retain established JAE features including low crosstalk, reliable mating and high durability including RoHS compliance and UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant properties.
