Black USB 3.0 19-pin to Type-E 20-pin adapter on PCI bracket

Vszerda

Vszerda USB 3.0 19-pin to Type-E 20-pin adapter bracket

SKU CH-M8FM-YDWMH

Adds a front-panel USB-C port by converting a motherboard 19-pin USB 3.0 header to a 20-pin Type-E bracket with 10 Gbps data and 100 W power

  • Connects modern Type-C front-panel ports to a 19-pin USB 3.0 header
  • Reversible Type-C plug inserts either way up for fool-proof connection
  • Works with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices when both motherboard headers are linked
  • Transfers data at up to 10 Gbps and supplies up to 100 W power
  • Driver-free installation across Windows XP/7/8/10, macOS and Linux

Front-panel USB-C adapter for legacy motherboards

This bracket converts a motherboard 19-pin USB 3.0 header into a 20-pin Type-E connector, adding a reversible USB-C port to the case front. It targets builders whose chassis includes a Type-C front panel but whose board lacks the matching header. The card mounts to a standard PCI slot bracket for a secure fit. No driver installation is required on supported operating systems.

Passive design with dual-header compatibility

The adapter draws power directly from the connected motherboard headers and adds no active cooling or noise. It works with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices when both corresponding headers are linked. Data transfer reaches up to 10 Gbps while the port can deliver up to 100 W of power. The printed circuit board weighs 30 g and measures 1.14 by 0.98 by 0.38 inches.

Steel bracket mounting and reversible plug

A metal bracket screws into the case expansion slot, holding the PCB firmly in place during daily connect and disconnect cycles. The Type-C receptacle accepts the plug in either orientation, removing the frustration of upside-down insertion. Compatibility spans Windows XP through Windows 10 on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures plus macOS and Linux. Builders without a spare PCI bracket space or without both USB headers cannot use this adapter.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the PCI bracket and connect the 19-pin and 20-pin headers correctly?

Screw the bracket into a rear slot, plug the 19-pin connector into the motherboard USB 3.0 header and the 20-pin Type-E connector into the front-panel Type-C header; the step often missed is attaching both headers for full 3.0 and 2.0 compatibility.

Will the adapter’s PCB or connectors need replacement after extended use?

The 30 g PCB has no moving parts or active components, so no scheduled maintenance or replacement is required under normal operation.

What limits sustained 10 Gbps transfers or 100 W power delivery first?

The 19-pin USB 3.0 motherboard header caps bandwidth at 5 Gbps, so that interface becomes the bottleneck before the Type-E connector or cabling.
