Green circuit board with Mini PCIe edge connector and 20-pin USB header, Molex power socket, NEC chip

Vszerda

Vszerda Mini PCIe to Dual USB 3.0 20-pin Expansion Card with Molex Power

SKU CH-VGAB-7A3YS

Adds two USB 3.0 headers via Mini PCIe using NEC UPD720202 chipset with Molex power

  • Adds two USB 3.0 ports via Mini PCIe slot
  • Delivers up to 5 Gbps data transfer speed
  • Powered by Molex 4-pin connector from PSU
  • Uses NEC UPD720202 chipset for reliable performance
  • Compatible with Windows XP through 8 and Linux systems

Converts Mini PCIe to Dual USB 3.0 Headers

This Vszerda add-on card adapts a single Mini PCI Express slot into two USB 3.0 motherboard headers, identified as 20-pin or 19-pin connectors. It uses the NEC UPD720202 chipset and draws auxiliary power through a Molex 4-pin SP4 connector from the power supply. The board complies with PCI Express 2.0 and xHCI 1.0 specifications.

For Embedded Builds Needing Front-Panel USB 3.0

Suits embedded or micro systems that have a spare Mini PCIe slot and require additional front-panel USB 3.0 ports running at 5 Gbps. Not for builders who only have an M.2 or mSATA slot, because the card cannot work in those interfaces. Also not for setups that cannot supply a Molex 4-pin power lead from the PSU.

Mini PCIe Slot Is Mandatory

The card functions exclusively in a Mini PCI Express slot; it will not operate in an mSATA or M.2 socket. Verify the motherboard provides this exact slot type before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the Vszerda card include and what must I supply?

The card converts a Mini PCIe slot to a USB 3.0 20-pin header for two ports. You must provide a Molex 4-pin (SP4) power cable from the PSU because the Mini PCIe slot lacks 5 V power.

Which header version should I check for on my motherboard?

The adapter uses a USB 3.0 20-pin header, which is the same physical connector sometimes labelled USB 3.0 19-pin. Verify your board has this header before purchase.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean in practice?

The NEC UPD720202 chipset delivers up to 5 Gbps over USB 3.0 and remains backwards compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices. Hot-swap is supported under Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 2003 and Linux.
