Logically I should have both 6 pin female connector right? But when I buy and received the product it only has 5 pins and this is the second product that I buy. So is the dual 6 pins logically missing 1 pin?

Honestly, you might wanna just ask people in other places, like reddit for this question to get a more concrete and serious answer, as im not too familiar with this myself, unless some user coincidentally see's this and know the answer

Like im even trying to google your question and the results seem to vary...

So yeah, might try to ask outside here like reddit, ALSO maybe ask your buyer too about it, maybe they know about it

Some pins may be wired to other wires; it's likely the other pin has the same voltage or ground as another wire and the manufacturer either cheaped-out on it, or it may be ok with the spec to do.

Could also be a manufacturing defect and certain-doom if you use it. If I was in this situation, I'd just plug it in and roll with it, and afterwards search up pictures of other 6-to-8 adapters and pin layouts to make sure it's not going to be an issue if it wasn't before that point :p
