LORDWORLD USB 3.1 Type-E to USB 3.0 20Pin Header Adapter

SKU CH-PVEY-YQ1NV

Converts a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E Key-B front-panel connector for cases with USB 3.1 ports

  • Converts a USB 3.0 header into a USB 3.1 header for front-panel Type-E ports
  • Works only with white Key-B Type-E sockets; black Key-A sockets are incompatible
  • Plugs directly into any 20-pin USB 3.0 header without extra cables or brackets
  • Delivers up to 5 GBit/s over the adapted USB 3.1 connection
  • Enables USB 3.1 front-panel ports on motherboards lacking a native USB 3.1 header

Connectivity adapter

This LORDWORLD adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header into a USB 3.1 front-panel Socket Key-B Type-E connector. It enables a case USB 3.1 port to operate at up to 5 GBit/s on boards lacking a native USB 3.1 header. The white Key-B socket is required; black Key-A sockets are not compatible.

Header upgrade

The adapter replaces the need for a motherboard with a built-in USB 3.1 front-panel header. The upgrade is worth it when a chassis provides a USB 3.1 Type-C or Type-A front port but the motherboard only offers USB 3.0 internal connectors. It plugs directly into any standard USB 3.0 header without extra cables or power.

Builder fit

Suits system builders using AM4 or LGA 2066 platforms that lack a front-panel USB 3.1 header but have a spare USB 3.0 header. Not for users whose case front-panel connector uses a black Key-A Type-E socket, or for builds without an available USB 3.0 20-pin header on the motherboard.

Questions about this item

Does this adapter plug into a 20-pin USB 3.0 header on the motherboard?

Yes, the male 20-pin connector fits directly into any standard USB 3.0 front-panel header without extra brackets or cables.

Which side of the adapter must match the white Key-B Type-E socket on my case?

The female end is a white USB 3.1 Key-B Type-E socket; it only works with that colour and keying — black Key-A sockets will not connect.

Will the adapter maintain 5 Gbit/s throughput after prolonged use?

The passive design has no active components to degrade, so the 5 Gbit/s link remains stable as long as the header pins stay clean and seated.
