Alias and legacy-name resolution
Connector name-resolution guides
Common shopping, repair, legacy and informal names can collapse multiple physical or technology layers. These guides map the name back to the canonical atlas record before you continue into capability or compatibility work.
RJ45, 8P8C and etherCON names
Resolve the common RJ45 label to the atlas 8P8C record and keep ruggedized etherCON hardware distinct.
Resolve these names →DB9, DE-9 and RS-232 naming
Map the common DB9 name to the DE-9 field note while keeping connector naming separate from serial-service assumptions.
Resolve these names →FireWire, IEEE 1394 and i.LINK names
Resolve common FireWire-family names across the 4-pin, 6-pin and 9-pin connector records.
Resolve these names →Mini-DIN, PS/2 and S-Video names
Distinguish common Mini-DIN-shaped computer and video connectors that can look deceptively similar.
Resolve these names →IEC cloverleaf, figure-8 and computer-power names
Resolve common appliance-coupler nicknames to the canonical C5/C6, C7/C8 and C13/C14 records.
Resolve these names →Mini-SAS, SlimSAS, OCuLink and SFF numbers
Map common storage-interconnect names and SFF identifiers back to their canonical connector records.
Resolve these names →CompactFlash, CFast, XQD and CFexpress names
Keep similarly named removable-media families and form factors separated before checking reader or camera support.
Resolve these names →USB 19-pin header vs Key-A front-panel header
Resolve common internal USB front-panel names to the separate 19-position and Key-A connector records.
Resolve these names →NEMA plug and receptacle numbers
Resolve represented NEMA designations, plug/receptacle suffixes and locking-family names to canonical connector records without turning identification into wiring or installation guidance.
Resolve these names →12VHPWR vs 12V-2x6 GPU-power names
Keep the two 16-contact PCIe auxiliary-power connector records distinct instead of collapsing them into one generic “16-pin GPU” label.

These discovery surfaces route and reorganize facts already represented in the atlas. They do not add electrical ratings, universal pinouts, measured tolerances, exact-device support, wiring approval or an end-to-end compatibility result.
