USB 3.2 Gen 1 to Gen 2 Header Adapter

This adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header into a USB 3.1 A-Key 20-pin header. It supports data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps and works with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems without driver installation. The compact PCB measures 25mm by 24mm and includes self-adhesive tape for secure mounting inside the case.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders adding a front-panel USB-C port to a board that only has a USB 3.0 internal header will find this adapter essential. It is not for systems that lack a USB 3.0 19-pin header entirely, nor for anyone attempting to connect a USB 2.0 header, as the pinout is incompatible and will not function.

The deciding specification

The motherboard must provide a USB 3.0 internal 19/20-pin male header for Connector A. If the board only offers a USB 2.0 header or no internal USB header at all, this adapter cannot be used and a different expansion method is required.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a USB 3.0 19 pin header for this adapter to work?

Yes, the adapter plugs into a USB 3.0 internal 19/20 pin motherboard male housing header. It does not work with USB 2.0 headers.

Will a front-panel USB 3.1 A-Key 20 pin connector fit the adapter's front-panel side?

Yes, connector B is a USB 3.1 A-Key 20 pin front panel female header designed for that cable.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering up to 10Gbps after installation?

Connect a USB 3.2 Gen 2 device to the front-panel port and verify the operating system reports a 10Gbps link speed.
