This HDMI plug breakout board lets you create custom HDMI cables or tap into individual HDMI pins for specialised wiring setups. The solid PCB features an HDMI plug with through-hole pads for soldering your own connections — ideal for splicing off I2C, power, or specific signal pins.
Comes with a clip-on housing for a clean finish. Add terminal blocks to the breakout pads for tool-free wiring, or solder directly for a permanent connection.
Key Features
- HDMI Plug to Breakout – All HDMI pins broken out to through-hole pads
- Solderable Pads – Accepts wire, terminal blocks, or pin headers
- Clip-On Housing – Included for a tidy connector finish
- Custom Wiring – Access individual signal, power, and I2C pins
Ideal For
- Custom HDMI cable builds
- Tapping HDMI I2C or power lines
- Test and debug jigs
- Unusual display wiring configurations
Package Contents
- 1× HDMI Plug Breakout Board
- 1× Clip-On Housing
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- HDMI
- HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- Headers
- Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
