M.2 Key E to mPCIe Adapter 55x31mm

This adapter connects an M.2 Key A or Key E module to a full-size or half-size mPCIe slot in a laptop or desktop. It carries both PCIe 1.1 and USB 2.0 signals through the slot. The board measures 55 by 31 millimetres and weighs 10 grams.

For adding Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

Builders who want to install a Key E wireless card into an older mini PCI Express socket will find this adapter suitable. It is not for users who need to connect M.2 Key B or Key M storage modules, nor for systems lacking an mPCIe slot.

M.2 Socket 1 module support with PCIe and USB 2.0

The adapter accepts 3030 and 3042 dimension Key A, A-E and E cards and requires no drivers on Windows 2000 through 8 or Linux. PCIe 1.1 runs at up to 2.5 Gbps alongside USB 2.0 connectivity.

Questions about this item

Will the adapter fit a half-size mPCIe slot in my older laptop?

The board supports both full-size and half-size mPCIe slots, so it will fit either form factor.

How can I verify the PCIe 1.1 link is active after installing the M.2 Key E module?

Check Device Manager or lspci; the attached M.2 device should appear on the PCIe bus without any extra driver installation.

Does the package include mounting hardware for the M.2 card, or must I source screws separately?

The box contains the adapter, a wrench, and four screws for securing the M.2 module.
