HDMI Type-A vs DisplayPort connector

HDMI and DisplayPort are different connector families. Choose the physical form first, then verify the device capabilities and direction separately.

How they differ

  • HDMI Type-A Look for a wide keyed connector with angled lower edges. Distinguish it from DisplayPort, whose silhouette has a different corner treatment.
  • DisplayPort connector Use the chamfered-corner outline as a clue and inspect for any latch release on the actual cable. The drawing is a broad visual identifier, not an engineering outline.

Two forms / One distinction

Find the two shoulders versus the one clipped corner.

Display · V99
HDMI Type A versus DisplayPort. Broad form with a symmetric pair of angled shoulders. More rectangular outline with one clipped corner in the pictured view. Not to scale; no pinout or compatibility verdict.
Front-oriented cable-end plug outlines. Not to common size or measured geometry. Original interpretive drawing; independent technical review pending.

Where the difference lies

HDMI Type A
Broad form with a symmetric pair of angled shoulders.
DisplayPort
More rectangular outline with one clipped corner in the pictured view.

What to verify next

The differently keyed front outline is visible without assigning video capability to the port.

Check the port’s own marking and exact device features; matching a display cable requires more than shape.

Inspect the figure-level references and rights

Inspected 2026-10-09. Original Port & Cable vector diagram; first-party sources linked for inspection only, no third-party graphics bundled. No manufacturer image, CFA logo or licensed photograph is copied into this package. No approval for fabrication, mating, wiring or publication is implied.

  • C2G / Legrand · Digital video connectorsHDMI mini and micro, HDMI Type A, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort manufacturer example photographs. External shell outline, distinct forms and labeled roles; not dimensions, speed or cable capability.

Canonical claim evidence, source-review dates and inherited figure approvals are unaffected.

Trace 14 claims to their source records

C008A · P008

The familiar full-size HDMI connector is Type-A; Mini and Micro HDMI use different physical forms.

Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only

Source links: S018 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C008B · P008

HDMI version labeling alone does not identify every optional feature implemented by a product.

Claim scope: Narrowly stated supporting distinction; not an end-to-end device guarantee

Source links: S012 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C008C · P008

TE's cited Standard HDMI receptacle is a 19-position connector example, supporting a 19-contact engineering count for the full-size HDMI form without implying HDMI version or video capability.

Claim scope: Connector-form contact count supported by one manufacturer example; protocol/version capability explicitly excluded.

Source links: S365 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C008D · P008

Elgato 4K X has one HDMI input for an unencrypted video source and one HDMI passthrough output to a display; captured video reaches a computer through a separate USB-C connection.

Claim scope: 4K X only; input/output direction must not be exchanged and the selected profile is not a full connector inventory.

Source links: S450 · S451 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C008E · P008

Elgato separates supported 4K X HDMI passthrough signals from capture formats. Its detailed guidance says DSC video cannot be captured even when a passthrough image is visible.

The ATEM Mini Pro ISO specifies four HDMI Type A inputs and one HDMI program output; the separately listed total of two outputs is not a count of HDMI output sockets.

Source links: S453 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C008G · P008

The ATEM Mini Pro ISO Standards table lists no Ultra HD video standards. Its description of finishing in Ultra HD via relinked media does not establish an Ultra HD HDMI input or output mode.

Claim scope: Pro ISO live video-interface standards versus post-production description; no new conversion or capture capability inferred.

Source links: S453 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C008H · P008

HDMI Cable Power requires support from both the active cable and the HDMI source. HDMI LA specifies source/sink direction for active cables and a separate power connector for sources without Cable Power support.

TE drawing C-1747981 H maps 1747981-1 to a without-flange HDMI board-receptacle form and presents its mating face separately from the reference PCB layout.

Claim scope: V146: Named drawing family and suffix table only. The drawing does not establish an installed port’s input/output role or HDMI feature set.

VESA identifies DP++ support on the DisplayPort source as a prerequisite for passive DisplayPort-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-DVI signal adaptation. A DisplayPort-shaped output alone is not evidence that its source provides dual-mode signaling.

Claim scope: VESA Get Connected conversion footnote; source role / DP++ only; no specific display mode

Molex specifies 472720001 as a DisplayPort receptacle, 20 loaded circuits and 2 row(s), with mating-interface pitch 1.00mm.

Claim scope: Exact Molex 472720001, female right-angle DisplayPort receptacle; manufacturer mating-interface/row fields only, not a universal family value.
