Innocard PCIe Gen4 gender changer U.3 SFF-8639 12V 6.5A

SKU CH-XR8D-1Z9TG

Converts U.3 SFF-8639 SSDs to PCIe 4.0 x4 with hot-plug 12V 6.5A power and server management

  • Changer TypePCIe Gen4
  • Converts U.3 SSD to PCIe 4.0 x4 host
  • Built-in 12 V hot-plug power with 6.5 A eFuse limit
  • Industrial temperature range for server reliability
  • SMBus expander enables BMC out-of-band SSD management
  • Clock buffer and translators support longer cable runs

PCIe Gen4 U.3 adapter

This PCIe Gen4 gender changer converts a U.3 SFF-8639 SSD to a PCI Express 4.0 x4 interface. It includes hot-plug controllers and a 12V power circuit with eFuse protection. The board integrates a PCIe clock buffer and SMBus switch for extended cable runs. It is built for server and industrial environments.

6.5 A programmable current limit

The on-board 12 V hot-plug supply delivers a programmable current limit of 6.5 A with adjustable inrush slew rate. Thermal shutdown and fault alert protect the drive during power events. A 400 W TVS device guards the input against transients. The design supports back-to-back FET operation for robust power switching.

Out-of-band management via PERST#

The adapter exposes PCIe PERST# for out-of-band remote reset of the connected U.3 NVMe SSD. WAKE# and CLKREQ# translators maintain open-drain signalling over longer traces. SMBus I/O expander at address 0x41 handles PWRDIS control. Buyers without BMC or OOB infrastructure cannot use these management features.

Questions about this item

Will this PCIe Gen4 gender changer work with my existing U.3 SFF-8639 SSD?

Yes, it converts U.3 SFF-8639 to PCI Express 4.0 x4 and supports PCIe PERST# for out-of-band management to remote U.3 SSD reset.

How can I verify the adapter is functioning correctly after installation?

The built-in SMBus I/O expander at address 0x41 handles U.3 SSD PWRDIS control, while WAKE# and CLKREQ# translators maintain signal integrity over longer cables.

Does the package include a 12 V power cable or do I need to source one separately?

The adapter has built-in 12V hot-plug power with eFuse protection and 400W TVS ESD protection, plus a 30u” SFF-8639 connector.
