Type C connections are frequently embedded in digital cameras, computer tablets, and camcorders, and are also found on sat nav systems. There are some Mini HDMI plugs found on type C that has measured values of 10.42mm x 2.42mm.
Micro Type D
The tiny unit of the HDMI connector consists of three main types. Due to the limitations of the smaller form, the Micro D form keeps the same 19-pin arrangement but in a slightly altered layout. Modern mobile phones sometimes include Type D micro-HDMI connections, which are small (5.83mm x 2.20mm) and measure this size.
The HDMI connector is available in a wide range, some of them of mounting styles and body orientations. These two factors are very important at the time of making the purchase, allowing the use of the most appropriate connector for the application.
