What are the different types of HDMI® connectors?

HDMI® connectors are used for high -resolution multimedia system. It is a digital method of transmission of sound and visual information. There are four main connector models, although only three are commonly used. The HDMI® connector is simply a plug at the end of the HDMI cable. As with USB on computers, it is simply connected and pulled out of the sockets without a locking device or clips. It is a combination of the plug and a socket found on most HD connections, and unless the manufacturer otherwise, "HDMI®" will usually type A. The connector has 19 pins. Other pins allow the “dual DVI connection” to be connected, which bears more information and type B connectors can carry twice details of video type.

C HDMI® connectors are very similar to the type A with the same 19-round settings. The difference is in tOM that the plug is smaller and measures 0.09 V x 0.41 V (2.42 mm x 10.42 mm) compared to 0.18 V x 0.55 V (4.45 mm x 13.9 mm). This is designed for use mainly with portable devices that do not have much space for drawers. A special cable can be used to convert between C and type A type: and also to adjust the size, correct the fact that the electrical adjustment of the pins differs slightly for both types of connector.

D -type D HDMI® connectors are an even smaller version of type A and C -type connectors, again with 19 pins. These connectors are 0.11 V x 0.25 V (2.8 mm x 6.4 mm). This means that, like the smaller, the D-type connector is a different shape that is "chunkier" than relatively connectors of flat type A and type C. Differences in size and shape between different types are similar to the differences between the standard USB plug and the micro-USB plug.

There are also plans to develop a new, currently unnamed type of HDMI® connector. This would be very similar to the type A connector, but would be adjusted to be able to block on mythe wall in the socket, which would prevent it from being discarded if the cable is randomly pulled or soaked. The plan is that this new connector would be backward compatible, so it would work with any existing type A.
