The Waterproof HDMI Panel Mount Connector is a family of panel-mounted HDMI connectors designed for equipment enclosures, industrial cabinets, AV systems, control terminals, and test equipment.

Rather than converting the HDMI signal, the connector provides an accessible HDMI interface on the equipment panel, allowing an internal HDMI connection to be extended or integrated into the external enclosure.

The product family includes five main mechanical configurations:

Threaded Panel Mount HDMI Connector – Without Dust Cap
Threaded Panel Mount HDMI Connector – Hinged Flip Cover
Four-Hole Square Flange HDMI Connector – Tethered Screw Cap
Round Panel Mount HDMI Connector – Scalloped Tethered Screw Cap
Threaded Panel Mount HDMI Connector – Knurled Tethered Screw Cap

Selected configurations are available in black, white, blue, and yellow.

Each mechanical configuration is also available in two electrical termination versions:

Feedthrough Type and Solder Pin Type.

This allows equipment manufacturers to select a connector according to enclosure design, internal wiring, PCB layout, maintenance requirements, and interface protection requirements.

Type 4:

Threaded Panel Mount HDMI Connector with Hinged Flip Cover

This configuration combines a threaded panel-mount structure with an integrated hinged flip cover.

Users can open the cover for HDMI access and close it when the interface is not in use.

Because the cover remains mechanically attached to the connector body, operators do not need to remove and store a separate dust cap.

This design is particularly useful for equipment requiring frequent HDMI access, testing, configuration, or maintenance.

Black, white, blue, and yellow options are available, together with feedthrough and solder-pin versions.

Type 5：

Four-Hole Square Flange HDMI Connector with Tethered Screw Cap

The primary difference between this configuration and the other versions is its mechanical mounting structure.

It uses a four-hole square flange that secures the connector to the equipment panel through four mounting points, together with a tethered screw cap covering the external HDMI interface.

The flange provides a dedicated mechanical mounting structure for industrial cabinets, test equipment, communication enclosures, and other panel-mounted systems.

Black, white, blue, and yellow options are available, with both feedthrough and solder-pin versions.

Product Breakdown

Why Is This Product Needed ?

Conventional HDMI ports are commonly mounted directly on computers, displays, or PCBs. While this works well for consumer electronics, industrial equipment often requires a different interface arrangement.

Internal HDMI ports may be difficult to access from outside an enclosure. Standard ports may also lack dedicated panel protection, and maintenance personnel may need to open the equipment to connect an external display.

Directly connecting external HDMI cables to internal PCB connectors can also transfer insertion, removal, and cable forces to the internal interface.

The Waterproof HDMI Panel Mount Connector combines an HDMI interface with a dedicated panel-mount structure and optional protective cover, providing a practical solution for industrial equipment integration.

Core Performance Advantages

◆ Improved Interface Accessibility

Panel mounting provides external access to the HDMI interface, reducing the need to open the equipment enclosure for routine display or video connections.

◆ Reduced Load on Internal Connectors

The panel-mount structure can absorb part of the mechanical forces generated by external cable insertion, removal, and movement rather than transferring all forces directly to an internal PCB connector.

◆ Flexible Equipment Integration

Threaded round mounting, square flanges, screw caps, hinged covers, and capless designs allow the HDMI interface concept to accommodate different equipment architectures.

◆ Supports Protected Interface Design

Covered versions protect the HDMI receptacle when it is not in use and can form part of an equipment interface protection strategy.

However, a protective cap alone does not establish a specific IP rating. Environmental protection must be verified using the complete connector, sealing system, panel installation, and mating arrangement.

Feedthrough vs. Solder Pin

Item	Feedthrough	Solder Pin
Main Use	HDMI Interface Extension	PCB Integration
External Interface	HDMI	HDMI
Internal Structure	Corresponding HDMI Connection Interface	Solder Pin
Installation Object	Internal HDMI Cable / Interface	PCB
Device Integration Difficulty	Lower	Requires PCB design
InternalCable	Usuallyrequired	Can reduce independent HDMI jumpers
PCB Layout	Usually not required	Required
Suitable Projects	Case interface extension,equipment modification	OEM devices, embedded products

Selection Note：

The feedthrough version is generally suitable for extending an internal HDMI interface to an external equipment panel.

The solder-pin version is intended for OEM equipment where the HDMI connector is integrated directly into a PCB design.

Because HDMI is a high-speed digital interface, simply connecting all contacts does not automatically guarantee stable 4K performance. Differential impedance, PCB routing, vias, return paths, connector construction, and total channel loss must all be considered.

Product Capabilities

Interface Protection Capability

Screw-cap and hinged-cover versions provide physical interface coverage when the HDMI port is not in use.

Panel Mounting Capability

Different configurations support round/threaded panel mounting or four-hole flange installation for different enclosure designs.

PCB Integration Capability

Solder-pin versions can be integrated into equipment PCBs using the appropriate footprint and high-speed HDMI signal routing practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product FAQ

How Many Main Configurations Are Available in This Series ?

The series includes five main mechanical configurations: knurled tethered screw cap, scalloped tethered screw cap, capless, hinged flip cover, and four-hole square flange with tethered screw cap. These designs accommodate different panel-mounting and interface-protection requirements. Each mechanical configuration is available in both feedthrough and solder-pin versions, allowing equipment manufacturers to select the appropriate internal connection method.

What Is the Difference Between Feedthrough and Solder-Pin Types ?

The feedthrough type is primarily designed for HDMI interface extension, providing a connection between the external panel HDMI interface and the corresponding internal connection.

The solder-pin type is intended for PCB integration, allowing the connector terminals to be soldered directly to a compatible circuit board. Pin arrangement, PCB footprint, and high-speed signal routing requirements should be verified before design integration.

What Housing Colors Are Available ?

Selected scalloped tethered screw-cap, hinged flip-cover, and four-hole square-flange tethered screw-cap configurations are available in black, white, blue, and yellow, allowing selection based on equipment appearance or interface identification requirements.

Actual color availability may vary by mechanical configuration and should be confirmed for the selected model before bulk ordering.

Which Type Is Better for Frequent HDMI Access ?

For applications requiring frequent connection to displays, test equipment, or debugging systems, the hinged flip-cover type provides convenient access because the protective cover remains attached when opened.

For HDMI interfaces that remain continuously connected, or equipment that already provides external protection, the capless type may also be suitable.

Can the Solder-Pin Type Be Soldered Directly to a PCB ?

Yes. The solder-pin version is designed for PCB mounting, but the actual PCB footprint, pin quantity and arrangement, mechanical position, and pin assignment must be verified.
