Fervit USB 3.1 Type-C Female to USB 3.0 19/20-pin Header Adapter

SKU CH-52HS-DBDCJ

Converts a motherboard 19-pin or 20-pin USB 3.0 header to a single USB 3.1 Type-C female port with 5 Gbps data and 5 V 500 mA power

  • Add a USB-C port to your case using an internal 19 or 20-pin header
  • Transfer files at up to 5 Gbps with USB 3.0 speeds
  • Delivers up to 500 mA at 5 V for connected devices
  • Simple plug-in design with no extra drivers required
  • Does not support Power Delivery, video or audio signals

Internal USB 3.0 header to USB-C adapter

This adapter converts a 19-pin or 20-pin internal USB 3.0 motherboard header into a single external USB-C female port. It is intended for builders who want a front-panel or rear-bracket USB-C connection without replacing the motherboard. The board-level PCB uses standard header pinouts for direct installation. No additional drivers are required for basic data connectivity.

Replaces a missing front-panel USB-C port

The device upgrades a system that only provides internal USB 3.0 headers by adding a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C interface. The jump is worth it when the case includes a USB-C cutout but the motherboard lacks a dedicated front-panel connector. It does not add Power Delivery, video output or audio passthrough, so it cannot serve charging-only or display-alt-mode needs.

Sustained 5 Gbps data with 500 mA power limit

Under continuous transfer the link operates at the USB 3.0 5 Gbps signalling rate while delivering up to 500 mA at 5 V to attached devices. The adapter does not negotiate higher current or voltage profiles, so bus-powered drives that exceed the 500 mA limit may disconnect during heavy workloads. Thermal throttling is not a factor because the passive PCB draws minimal power itself.

Questions about this item

Will this 19-pin or 20-pin header adapter fit my motherboard's internal USB 3.0 connector?

It connects to a standard 19-pin or 20-pin internal USB 3.0 header on the motherboard.

How do I install this adapter and which step is often missed?

Plug the header onto the motherboard's internal USB 3.0 port, then secure the Type-C bracket to a rear expansion slot; the bracket mounting step is often skipped.

What power limit should I expect from the Type-C port over time?

The port delivers a maximum of 5V at 500mA, so it cannot charge high-draw devices or support Power Delivery.
