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.

Trace 6 claims to their source records

C012A · P012

Mini DisplayPort shares its connector shape with Thunderbolt 1 and 2, but their functions are not identical.

Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only

Source links: S016 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C012B · P012

TE's cited Mini DisplayPort receptacle is a 20-position connector example; the same physical form can appear in contexts whose protocol capability must be established from the exact device rather than shape alone.

Claim scope: Mini DisplayPort connector-form contact count only; DisplayPort revision and Thunderbolt capability are not inferred.

C801D · P012

NXP AN10873 mini-DP source-side connector pin list: original contact normalization. Statuses distinguish comparison agreement, source limits and named-device wiring.

Claim scope: Pinout variant only; see comparison and per-contact status. Not fabrication approval.

C801E · P012

Wilder Technologies mDP-TPA test adapter plug/receptacle (device-specific, source and sink lane names): original contact normalization. Statuses distinguish comparison agreement, source limits and named-device wiring.

Claim scope: Pinout variant only; see comparison and per-contact status. Not fabrication approval.

C801F · P012

Source-side Mini DisplayPort connector (VESA mDP 1.0 Table 2-1): original contact normalization. Statuses distinguish comparison agreement, source limits and named-device wiring.

Claim scope: Pinout variant only; see comparison and per-contact status. Not fabrication approval.

C801G · P012

Sink-side Mini DisplayPort connector (VESA mDP 1.0 Table 2-2); e.g., Dell U2415/U2414H Mini DP input: original contact normalization. Statuses distinguish comparison agreement, source limits and named-device wiring.

Claim scope: Pinout variant only; see comparison and per-contact status. Not fabrication approval.
