Green PCIe x1 card with 20-pin Type-E and 19-pin USB 3.0 headers

RIITOP

RIITOP PCIe x1 to USB 3.2 Gen1 20-pin Type-E + USB 3.0 19-pin Expansion Card

SKU CH-F7A6-FQ8FB

Adds a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-E header and a 19-pin USB 3.0 header via a PCIe x1 slot for up to 5 Gbit/s

  • Adds USB 3.2 Gen1 front-panel Type-E header via PCIe x1 slot
  • Supplies 5 Gbit/s front USB 3.2 without a matching motherboard header
  • Fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCIe slots for broad compatibility
  • Works with Windows XP through 11 plus Linux, 32-bit or 64-bit
  • Compact card plugs directly into existing USB 3.0 19-pin header, no extra cables

Front-panel USB 3.2 Gen1 adapter

This PCIe x1 expansion card adds a 20-pin Type-E front-panel header and a 19-pin USB 3.0 header to a desktop system. It targets builders whose motherboard lacks a native USB 3.2 Gen1 front-panel connector but who want to use a modern case with Type-C or Type-A front ports. The card fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and works with Windows XP through Windows 11 plus Linux.

Replaces missing motherboard header

The card upgrades a platform that only provides a legacy USB 3.0 19-pin header by converting it to a 20-pin Type-E connection for USB 3.2 Gen1 at 5 Gbit/s. The jump is worth it when a new chassis includes a front-panel USB-C port that the board cannot drive natively. No extra cables or power adapters are required for the conversion.

Handles one front-panel Type-E port

The adapter comfortably supplies a single front-panel USB 3.2 Gen1 port at up to 5 Gbit/s for external drives, docks or peripherals. It runs out when the build needs more than one Type-E header or when the motherboard has no spare PCIe slot for the x1 card. Bandwidth is shared with other devices on the same PCIe lane.

Questions about this item

Does this card need a free PCIe x1 slot and a spare USB 3.0 19-pin header on the motherboard?

Yes, it plugs into any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and draws its upstream connection from a USB 3.0 19-pin header.

What is the installation step that people often miss when adding this card?

After seating the card in the PCIe slot, you must connect the supplied cable to a USB 3.0 19-pin header on the motherboard; without that link the front Type-E port stays dead.

Will the front-panel Type-E connector on this card wear out and need replacement?

The 20-pin Type-E header is rated for thousands of insertions; under normal desktop use it should last the life of the system without needing a swap.
