I need a foot print for an HDMI PCB SMT connector. Any ideas as to where I could find one?

It's easy for you to say "I just don't get it" because you have the experience. People come here for help because they're not familiar with the procedures. When you don't know how to do something, it becomes a challenge. It might be simple, but it isn't simple until you learn those features. I myself am looking for the HDMI Male Connector footprint, and can't seem to find one anywhere. I gave up and tried to create the part in eagle, but for me it was too much information and things to learn. I was also a bit scared that when I order PCBs these could be wrong.
If anybody else have the Male connector HDMI footprint, please let me know. It's a rare part, since most connectors are female. I attached an image of the connector. Thank you.
Hi Mike,
This is a 4-year old thread, but you're right, some HDMI connectors are not easy, because of the shaped holes for the shield. It can take me many hours to do that, and I'm reasonably experienced with EAGLE : (
Anyway, I do not have an EAGLE footprint for a full-sized HDMI plug, but I do have a footprint for a HDMI-mini, if that helps - it avoids shaped holes by being soldered end-on. You could use an adaptor from amazon to convert from that to full-sized HDMI.
This is the footprint (I connected it to some pads, to make a breakout board, but the plug has its own part footprint), let me know if you wish to have the library file for it.
This footprint is for this part: https://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/60s019p-301n-b1-fec/plug-mini-hdmi/dp/1708476
However that is no longer stocked, but it looks like this HDMI mini plugthis HDMI mini plug is an identical size, although out of stock till 1st Jan.
It requires a 1mm thick PCB, but I used 0.8mm for this breakout board (and maybe apply some epoxy near the shield tabs, to prevent the pads lifting).
