Small green PCB adapter with 9-pin and 20-pin headers

Vszerda

Vszerda USB 2.0 9-pin to Type-E internal adapter

SKU CH-9YBY-5146R

Converts a motherboard USB 2.0 9-pin header to a USB 3.2 Type-E front-panel port, limited to USB 2.0 speeds

  • Converts a 2.0 9-pin header to a Type-E 20-pin front-panel port
  • Driver-free installation works on any Windows or Linux system with a 9-pin socket
  • PCB edge uses rounded corners to protect fingers during handling
  • Differential-signal design keeps the link stable and noise-resistant
  • Maximum throughput capped at 5 Gbps because the 9-pin source is USB 2.0

Front-panel USB 2.0 to Type-E adapter

This Vszerda adapter converts a motherboard USB 2.0 9-pin header into a vertical USB 3.2 Type-E connector. It mounts on a PCI bracket so a front-panel USB-C cable can reach the internal header. The link runs at USB 2.0 speeds because the source header is 9-pin. No driver installation is required on Windows or Linux.

Check header type and case cable

Verify the motherboard has a standard USB 2.0 9-pin front-panel header. Confirm the chassis includes a front-panel cable terminated with a USB 3.2 Type-E 20-pin plug. The adapter measures 3 by 1.65 by 0.63 centimetres with rounded PCB edges. Ensure bracket clearance inside the case before ordering.

Replaces makeshift header wiring

The adapter replaces improvised wiring or missing front-panel USB-C connectivity on boards that only expose USB 2.0 headers. The upgrade is worthwhile when the case provides a Type-E front port but the motherboard lacks a native Type-E header. Speed remains limited to USB 2.0 5 Gbps maximum regardless of the Type-E connector.

Questions about this item

Does the package include a USB Type-E cable or must I buy one separately?

The package contains only the 9-pin to Type-E adapter board; a Type-E cable from the case front panel is required and is not included.

Which header version should I choose if my motherboard has a USB 2.0 9-pin header?

This adapter is built for a USB 2.0 9-pin header and converts it to a Type-E 20-pin connector; no other version is offered.

What real-world speed will I see when the adapter is connected to a USB 2.0 9-pin header?

The link is limited to USB 2.0 signalling, so the maximum throughput is 5 Gbps even though the Type-E connector supports USB 3.2.
