  • Extends 2230 E-Key or A+E-Key cards to 2242 slots for WIFI6 and WIFI7 compatibility
  • Protects wireless card contacts from wear during repeated installation and removal
  • Male-to-female NGFF extension fits 22 x 30 mm cards into 22 x 42 mm connectors
  • E-Key pinout only — incompatible with B-Key, M-Key, A-Key or mini-PCIe interfaces
  • Bare PCB adapter supplied without a wireless card

Purpose and Compatibility

This adapter extends a 2230 E-Key or A+E-Key wireless module to a 2242 form factor. It accepts male connectors on one side and presents a female socket on the other. The PCB is keyed for E-key pinout only and will not function with B-key, M-key or A-key modules. Mini-PCIe cards are also incompatible. The board ships without a wireless card.

Build Integration

The adapter fits between a motherboard M.2 slot and a 2230 wireless card, adding physical length to reach a 2242 mounting point. It requires an available E-key or A+E-key slot wired for the appropriate interface. No additional power connectors or drivers are needed beyond what the host slot provides. The module does not alter the electrical pinout of the connection.

Included Accessories

Only the bare PCB adapter is supplied in the package. No mounting screws, thermal pads or cables are included. No software, firmware or configuration utilities are bundled. The wireless card shown in illustrative photos must be purchased separately.

Questions about this item

Does the 2230-to-2242 extension handle sustained throughput from WIFI6 and WIFI7 cards without signal loss?

The adapter is a passive PCB trace extension; it adds no active circuitry so it does not limit sustained data rates of WIFI6 or WIFI7 wireless cards.

Does the adapter generate any heat or noise when a wireless card runs continuously?

No, it contains no power components, regulators or fans, so it produces zero heat and no audible noise under continuous operation.

Must the host slot be an E-key or A+E-key M.2 connector for this adapter to work?

Yes, the male plug follows the E-key pinout and will not function in B-key, M-key, A-key or mini-PCIe slots.
