The mini-HDMI retains all the functionality of the larger HDMI Type A, but the connector is much smaller. HDMI Type C connector - Mini-HDMI connector: This is the mini-HDMI connector and is smaller than the Type A connector, measuring 10.42 mm × 2.42 mm but still retaining the 19-pin configuration.This type of HDMI connector measures 21.2 mm × 4.45 mm and has 29 pins, carrying six differential pairs instead of three. However it is still retained within the specifications. As the connector is larger than the single link standard style, there has been no reason for its use. The connector has never been used in products because with the introduction of HDMI 1.3, the speed of a single link exceeded that of the old dual link. HDMI Type B connector: This type of HDMI connector was also launched with the original standard in 2002 and it is aimed at carrying dual link DVD-I video.There is a good selection, so the one with the required dimensions, format and specification can be chosen. Many of the female versions are also available for incorporation into AV equipment. The male version of the HDMI Type A connector is widely available on ready made leads as well as connectors for self assembly. This connector type is electrically compatible with single-link DVI-D. There are 19 pins and the bandwidth is able to carry all SDTV, EDTV, HDTV, UHD, and 4K modes. The plug or male connector has outside dimensions of 13.9 mm × 4.45 mm, and the receptacle or female connector has inside dimensions of 14 mm × 4.55 mm. Where space is not an issue, the Type A HDMI connector is ideal as it is the most robust. The Type A connector is the one that is the most familiar to users of AV equipment and it is found on a huge number of items from televisions, DVD players, satellite boxes, recorders, games consoles and many more items.

HDMI Type A connector: This connector was launched with the original standard and has been the mainstay of the HDMI standard since then.Summaries of the different HDMI connector types are given below: In view of the different sizes, the different HDMI connectors tend to be used on different types of equipment. With the exception of the dual link Type B connector, they all have 19 pins enabling the standard to remain the same across all connector types. This has enabled backwards compatibility to be maintained over the life of the standard. The different HDMI connector types have remained unchanged after their introduction.

HDMI Type A connector on the back of a television HDMI connector types HDMI connectors & cables have 19 wires / connections and this is significantly more than the USB connector. However there are differences in size and particularly the number of wires in the cable and connector. In many respects some HDMI connectors look quite similar to USB connectors. The connectors are manageable whilst remaining robust and reliable. The HDMI system and the accompanying connectors and leads are able to enable the high speed transfer of high quality and bandwidth AV signals along with providing for other associated capabilities.

Other types have been introduced since then to meet specific needs. The most common HDMI connector is the type A connector and along with the Type B, these were launched with the initial standard. Although the main type seen on televisions and other domestic AV equipment is the most widely used, and probably the most robust, other types exist for other applications as well.
