  • Product typeAdapters
  • MFi certified for reliable Apple device compatibility
  • 8‑pin male to 30‑pin female connector fits legacy accessories
  • Charging and data sync supported, audio not supported
  • Plug‑and‑play design requires no drivers or setup
  • Works with iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14 and compatible iPad or iPod models

Charge legacy docks with new devices

This MFi‑certified adapter connects a Lightning‑equipped iPhone or iPad to a 30‑pin dock or cable for charging and data sync. It plugs directly into the device’s 8‑pin port and accepts a legacy 30‑pin male connector. Audio and video output are not supported.

Fits between Lightning port and 30‑pin accessory

No extra power supply or driver is required; the adapter draws power from the host device. It frees you from buying a new Lightning cable when you still own 30‑pin charging cradles, speaker docks or car kits. The compact form adds minimal bulk to the connection.

Replaces a dedicated Lightning cable for dock use

The jump is worth it when you want to keep using existing 30‑pin charging stations instead of replacing them. It does not suit users who need analog or digital audio pass‑through, nor those who require video mirroring from the Lightning port.

Questions about this item

Does the 30-pin female port carry audio signals to older docks?

No, the adapter only passes power and data; audio and video output are not supported.

Will the Lightning male connector overheat when left plugged in for long charging sessions?

The adapter contains no active components, so it does not generate measurable heat during extended use.

Which cable must I already own to connect my legacy 30-pin accessory?

You need an existing Apple 30-pin dock cable (male 30-pin to USB) to plug into the adapter's female port.
