The useful distinction
Recognize it. Then verify it.
Eight-position Mini-DIN is a keyed circular connector form distinct from the four- and six-position Mini-DIN variants. [C210A]
The MD-S datasheet identifies option 80 as eight pins within its non-shielded, right-angle PCB component series. [C210B]
The named MD-80S front detail shows eight contact openings in groups of three, three and two; its PCB-layout views carry separate date-code qualifications. [C210C]

Mechanical dimensions
No independently reviewed mechanical drawing in V36; do not use this page for fabrication, fit testing or tolerance work.
Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.
Use the source-backed form or position count only for identification. Resolve ratings, protocol, direction, wiring, cable construction and exact device support from the relevant equipment and component documentation.
Before you connect
What to check
Identify the exact connector family and variant from the equipment or cable documentation.
Keep shape, contact count, protocol, electrical rating and device support as separate facts.
Do not force, rewire or adapt a connector from this recognition record; resolve the remaining requirements first.
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.
What is not established
This field note does not approve a connection, adapter, cable assembly, rewiring scheme or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported pin assignments and mechanical tolerances.
V149 — Eight positions still need an equipment identity.
MD-80S supplies a dated eight-contact component example. Its front detail is not the board-footprint view. Contact count does not assign serial or A/V service, identify a compatible adapter or establish a current replacement part.
Source-facing view, not a connection approval
The original qualitative study is linked through the legacy component reference and Visual Atlas. No live testing, trial fitting, rewiring, measured geometry, universal pinout or independent approval is provided. Retain the exact source revision and equipment manual.
AI-assisted inspection is not independent engineering review. Source scope and access limitations are disclosed below. Procedural checklists are editorial requirements, not hardware measurements.
