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.
Map the name to a canonical record
| Canonical record | Family | Names indexed on that record |
|---|---|---|
| 12VHPWR 16-contact auxiliary power connector | PC power | 12VHPWR · PCIe 5 power · 16 pin GPU power · 12+4 power connector |
| 12V-2x6 16-circuit PCIe power connector | PC power | 12V-2x6 · PCIe CEM5 12V2x6 · 12V2x6 · 16-circuit GPU power |
| PCIe 8-pin auxiliary power connector | PC power | PCIe 8 pin · GPU 8 pin · 6+2 PCIe power · 2x4 PCIe power |

Discovery is not a compatibility verdict.
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.
