USB 3.0 19/20-pin to Type-E adapter

This adapter converts a motherboard's internal USB 3.0 19 or 20-pin header into a USB 3.1/3.2 Type-E A-Key female connector. It supports data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps and features a straight 180-degree form factor. The device is designed for builders adding a USB Type-C front panel port to a chassis. No driver installation is required for operation.

Upgrade from USB 2.0 headers

This product replaces a direct USB 2.0 header connection which is explicitly not compatible with the adapter. The upgrade is worth it when a motherboard has a spare USB 3.0 19-pin header and the builder needs a Type-E interface for a modern front panel. It bridges the internal header gap without requiring a new motherboard purchase. Systems running Windows XP through Windows 10 32/64-bit, Mac, or Linux are supported.

Verify header type and installation steps

Before ordering, confirm the motherboard provides a USB 3.0 19-pin or 20-pin IDC header and not a USB 2.0 variant. The adapter must be installed in a specific sequence: power off the tower, unplug it, wait ten seconds, orient the male end correctly, then plug the adapter into the USB 3.0 header. Incorrect installation order risks pin shorting, non-recognition, or power warnings.
