HDMI Connectors
There are four HDMI connector types. Type A and Type B are defined in the HDMI 1.0 specification, Type C is defined in
the HDMI 1.3 specification, and Type D is defined in the HDMI 1.4 specification.
Type A
Nineteen pins, with bandwidth to support all SDTV, EDTV, and HDTV modes. The plug (male) connector outside dimensions
are 13.9 mm × 4.45 mm and the receptacle (female) connector inside dimensions are 14 mm × 4.55 mm. Type A is
electrically compatible with single-link DVI-D.
Type B
This connector (21.2 mm × 4.45 mm) has 29 pins and can carry double the video bandwidth of Type A, for use with very
high-resolution future displays such as WQUXGA (3840×2400). Type B is electrically compatible with dual-link
DVI-D, but has not yet been used in any products.
Type C
A Mini connector defined in the HDMI 1.3 specification, it is intended for portable devices. It is smaller than the Type A
plug connector (10.42 mm × 2.42 mm) but has the same 19-pin configuration. The differences are that all positive signals
of the differential pairs are swapped with their corresponding shield, the DDC/CEC Ground is assigned to pin 13 instead of
pin 17, the CEC is assigned to pin 14 instead of pin 13, and the reserved pin is 17 instead of pin 14. The Type C Mini
connector can be connected to a Type A connector using a Type A-to-Type C cable.
Type D
A Micro connector defined in the HDMI 1.4 specification, it keeps the standard 19 pins of Types A and C but
shrinks the connector size to something resembling a micro-USB connector.[54] The Type D connector is 2.8 mm × 6.4 mm,
whereas the Type C connector is 2.42 mm × 10.42 mm; for comparison, a micro-USB connector is 2.94 mm × 7.8 mm.
