Half-Size to Full-Size Mini PCIe Adapter

This metal bracket converts a half-height Mini PCI Express wireless card into a full-height form factor so it fits standard Mini PCIe slots. It is intended for technicians or hobbyists upgrading laptops or embedded boards that only accept full-size cards. The package includes the bracket and four mounting screws for a secure installation. Builders who need to adapt full-size cards to half-size slots cannot use this product.

Mechanical Stability Under Continuous Use

The all-metal construction maintains alignment and grounding when the host device runs for long periods or experiences vibration. Because the bracket follows the Mini PCI Express dimensional standard, the installed card stays firmly seated without flex that could interrupt the electrical connection. Installers who require a plastic insulator or a tool-less latch will not find those features here.

Mini PCI Express Slot Compatibility

The adapter works with any full-size Mini PCIe socket that follows the standard pinout and mounting-hole spacing. It supports the listed Intel, Atheros, Broadcom and Dell half-size wireless cards by model number. Systems that use M.2 keyed slots, proprietary half-height connectors or non-standard screw locations are outside the scope of this bracket.

Questions about this item

Does the bracket add any heat or power draw when the wireless card runs continuously?

The bracket is a passive metal frame with no electronics, so it adds no heat or power consumption to the wireless card.

What must I already have to install a half-size Mini PCIe wireless card with this bracket?

You need a half-size Mini PCIe wireless card such as an Intel 5100 or 5300 series, an Atheros AR9285 or AR9287, a Broadcom BCM4312 or BCM4322, or a Dell 1510 or 1520, plus a full-size Mini PCIe slot and a small Phillips screwdriver for the four included screws.

Will this bracket work in an older laptop that only has a full-size Mini PCIe slot?

Yes, the bracket converts a half-size card to the full-size Mini PCIe form factor, letting you use cards like the Intel 6250, Atheros AR9280, Broadcom BCM4321 or Dell 1397 in legacy full-size slots.
