content: Does anyone know of a source for PCB mount HDMI sockets which have through hole pinsanda mounting tabI can find ones which are through hole - plenty of those, and quite a few with mounting tabs but all those so far have been surface mount. I can't find any which are through holeandhave a mounting tab.

content: Thanks - I just could not find it among the sea of options.Edit: to be fair even searching with elements from the listing description I can only produce four hits on Aliexpress which isn't many considering how many HDMI connectors there are on there. Measurements are not always included either and none have four solder lugs.A couple are close enough to take a gamble and order if I need. A donor unit is on its way so I might be able to use that.Quote from: wraper on August 17, 2025, 01:25:24 pmI literally checked all the ones that Farnell sell and have in stock, Mouser as well. No item which has both a mounting tab and is through hole.

Also with a screw tab they do not even really add any robustness. So as long as front lugs do fit, I would not bother finding an exact match. Although you'll need to cut off plastic guide prong.

content: Quote from: wraper on August 17, 2025, 06:52:48 pmAh, right - I filtered on 19pins and half the data for that one isn't parametrised so it didn't show in the results. I really don't want 50 though.QuoteIt's parametrised on Mouser as surface mount and, again, I did try to use a filter to cut down the list - unfortunately the filter was 19pins and "everything but SMD".Quote from: wraper on August 17, 2025, 07:01:49 pmOKthough the problem with Ali is that there's no parametrised search and on listings with multiple styles available from one listing the preview photo is just one of them.QuoteRemoving the plastic locating pic is no problem and, in fact, the TE connectivity one has four lugs so might be just the thing - Mouser sell singles as well (though P&P disproportionately expensive for small orders from Mouser).Thanks for all the links though - normally I'm quite good at finding stuff but this one defeated me.

content: Parametric search sucks ass basically everywhere. When I cannot quickly find the right thing while using it, I just look through everything unless there are many thousands of components in the category.
