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

SKU CH-2NVN-VB9DY

  • Add a USB-C port to your case using a 19pin or 20pin header
  • Transfer data at 5Gbps over USB 3.0 internal connection
  • Delivers up to 500mA at 5V for low-power devices
  • No Power Delivery, video or audio passthrough supported
  • Converts a 9pin USB 3.0 header to an external Type-C socket

USB-C front-panel adapter for desktop builds

This Fervit adapter adds a single USB-C female port to a desktop by converting an internal motherboard header. It is aimed at PC builders and upgraders who want a modern front-panel or bracket connection without replacing the board.

Upgrade from USB-A headers to USB-C connectivity

The adapter replaces a standard 19-pin or 20-pin USB 3.0 header with a USB 3.1 Type-C socket running at 5 Gbps. The jump is worth it when a case or accessory demands a USB-C port but the motherboard only exposes legacy internal headers.

Fits a 9-pin internal header

The PCBA plugs directly into a 9-pin USB 3.0 motherboard header and draws up to 500 mA at 5 V from the board. It frees up the rear I/O by moving a USB-C port to the front or a bracket, but does not support Power Delivery, video or audio alternate modes.

Questions about this item

What motherboard header does this adapter plug into?

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

Which way round does the header connector go, and what do people get wrong?

Align the missing-pin key on the header with the blocked hole on the adapter; reversing it bends pins and prevents the 5 Gbps link from working.

Will the USB-C port need a firmware update or driver later?

No firmware or driver is required; the adapter is a passive PCB that passes USB 3.0 5 Gbps data and 5 V / 500 mA power directly from the motherboard header.
