Two slim black PCB adapters with 9-pin header and USB-C port, 180-degree design

Corn Electronics

Corn Electronics USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 Header Adapter 9Pin to Type-E 2 Pack

SKU CH-HA18-8VKG8

Converts a motherboard USB 2.0 9-pin header to a Type-E front-panel connector with a slim 180-degree design, plug-and-play installation, and two adapters included

  • Converts USB 2.0 9-pin header to Type-E connector
  • 180-degree slim design avoids chassis interference
  • Plug-and-play installation requires no drivers
  • Supports USB 2.0 transfer speeds on Type-C port
  • Two adapters included for multiple front-panel upgrades

USB 2.0 to Type-E header adapter

This two-pack converts a motherboard 9-pin USB 2.0 header into a 20-pin Type-E connector for front-panel USB-C ports. The adapter is 24 mm long, 13 mm wide and 5 mm high with a 180-degree slim profile that avoids interference inside the chassis. It works plug-and-play without drivers and supports the native USB 2.0 transfer rate of the 9-pin header.

Builders adding USB-C to older boards

Suits anyone fitting a modern front-panel USB-C connector to a motherboard that only provides a 9-pin USB 2.0 header. Buyers who need the higher throughput of USB 3.2 Gen 1 or Gen 2 on the front panel cannot obtain it with this adapter because the link remains at USB 2.0 speed.

USB 2.0 speed on a Type-E connector

The decisive specification is that the Type-E port operates at USB 2.0 rates despite its 20-pin form factor; the adapter does not upgrade the header to USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance.
