4-pin Mini-DIN (S-Video form)

The four-pin Mini-DIN form associated with S-Video is distinct from the six-pin PS/2 form.

Also called S Video SVideo 4 pin mini DIN Y C video

Same broad outline, different contact arrangement.

What to look for

Four-position keyed Mini-DIN S-Video form

What the drawing does not prove

Number of positions appears as a label; the relative pin layout is deliberately omitted.

A circular shell does not identify keyboard, mouse or video service. Never force a similarly shaped plug.

No fabrication dimensions, conductor routing, guaranteed fit or device approval. For electrical, power and optical interfaces, follow the original equipment instructions.

Figure evidence, orientation & usage rights

Uses previously recorded V112 manufacturer claim/source inspections; October 2026 supplementary public-source spot checks are documented separately, not treated as a refreshed approval.

Original Port & Cable interpretive vector, no third-party photo, copied CAD, logo or vendor drawing. Third-party product photos, logos and source drawings are not redistributed. No independent technical or rights certification is claimed.

Original claim identifiers: C109A (private workspace) · C109B (private workspace). Legacy evidence dates and rights assessments remain as recorded.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

The four-pin Mini-DIN form associated with S-Video is distinct from the six-pin PS/2 form. [C109A]

S-Video separates luminance and chrominance signals. [C109B]

A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

Record the exact device model and the label beside the port. Obtain its manual and the accessory documentation. Keep unknown properties unknown instead of filling them from a visually similar item.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Check the video input or output label.
  2. Distinguish standard four-pin S-Video from proprietary look-alikes.
  3. Document any needed signal conversion rather than choosing by shape.

Pins & wiring

Pinout

Choose the exact wiring. Pin numbers follow its stated view; a schematic does not establish physical positions. Check your exact device before wiring.

What the status labels mean
Confirmed
Recorded research passes agree within this variant; this is not independent human review or hardware validation.
Single source
Only one underlying document, or one pass, supports this assignment.
Device-specific
Supported for the named equipment or wiring only. Check your device’s manual.
Unverified
Missing or conflicting evidence. Do not wire from this row.
Not connected
The source explicitly says NC, no contact or no pin for this wiring.
