LORDWORLD PCIe FFC to x1 Adapter Board (C) 16-pin

SKU CH-1A5K-92H45

Connects a Raspberry Pi 5 to PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 devices via a 16-pin cable and onboard x1 slot; 12 V header and DC jack feed only the slot's 12 V pins

  • Connects Raspberry Pi 5 via 16-pin FFC cable
  • Adds standard PCIe x1 slot with open-ended design
  • Supports PCIe x1, x4, x8, and x16 devices
  • 12 V header and DC jack power 12 V pins only
  • Does not supply 5 V or 3.3 V to slot

Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe FFC Adapter

This adapter board connects a Raspberry Pi 5 to standard PCIe x1 devices using a 16-pin FFC cable. It provides an onboard PCIe x1 slot with an open end that accepts x1, x4, x8 and x16 cards. The 12 V header and DC jack feed only the 12 V pins of the slot. No power is delivered to the 3.3 V or 5 V pins on the connector.

Makers needing one lane of PCIe on Pi 5

Suitable for developers adding a single-lane accelerator, network card or storage controller to a Raspberry Pi 5. Builders who require 3.3 V or 5 V power from the slot, or who need more than one PCIe lane, should look at a different solution. The board does not supply those voltages and the slot is electrically x1 only.

16-pin FFC link to x1 slot

The critical specification is the 16-pin FFC interface that carries a single PCIe lane from the Raspberry Pi 5 to the onboard x1 slot. Cards with wider edge connectors fit physically but operate at x1 speed. External 12 V power connects to the header or DC jack and reaches only the 12 V pins of the slot.

Questions about this item

Does the board include the 16-pin FFC cable or must it be bought separately?

The adapter board is supplied without the 16-pin FFC cable; a compatible cable must be purchased separately to connect it to the Raspberry Pi 5.

Which Raspberry Pi models work with this PCIe x1 adapter?

The board is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5 and its 16-pin PCIe interface; it is not compatible with earlier Pi models.

Can the onboard 12 V header or DC jack power a card that also needs 5 V or 3.3 V from the slot?

No, the 12 V header and DC jack supply only the 12 V pins of the PCIe x1 slot; the 5 V and 3.3 V pins receive no power from this board.
