DELOCK Adapter USB 5 Gbps 20‑Pin Header (Pfostenbuchse) to USB‑B 5Gbps

The DELOCK Adapter USB 5 Gbps 20‑Pin Header (Pfostenbuchse) to USB‑B 5Gbps provides a simple internal conversion between a 20‑pin motherboard/header connector and a USB‑B receptacle. Designed for board‑level routing inside PC enclosures and custom devices, this adapter supports USB data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and enables a compact USB‑B interface where a full external connector is not practical. The adapter is intended for secure mounting on a motherboard header or internal cable harness and facilitates connections to devices or panels requiring a USB‑B port.

Advantages

This adapter offers a straightforward, space‑efficient way to add a USB‑B port to systems with a 20‑pin internal header. It supports high‑speed USB data transfer up to 5 Gbps, ensuring compatibility with USB 3.0 bandwidth requirements. The design reduces the need for custom wiring and simplifies internal cabling for front‑panel ports, internal controllers, and embedded solutions. The small form factor and direct header connection help maintain clean internal layouts and reduce strain on existing cabling.

Suitable for

• Converting motherboard 20‑pin headers to an internal USB‑B interface for front‑panel ports
• Connecting internal USB controllers or expansion modules to a USB‑B device
• Embedded systems and custom installations requiring a compact USB‑B connection
• Test benches or development rigs where a board‑level USB‑B port is needed

Key specifications

• Interface conversion: 20‑pin female header (Pfostenbuchse) to USB‑B receptacle
• Maximum data transfer: up to 5 Gbps
• Intended use: internal cable routing and board‑level connections
• Form factor: compact adapter for direct header connection

How to use

Align the adapter with the 20‑pin header on the motherboard or internal connector and press it firmly into place, ensuring correct pin orientation. Route the USB‑B cable to the target device or panel and secure it to avoid strain on the header. Verify the mating connectors are compatible and that the system is powered off while connecting to prevent accidental shorts. After installation, power up the system and verify device recognition and data transfer functionality at USB 3.0 speeds if supported by connected hardware.

Recommendations

Use the adapter inside the enclosure or protected internal environment only; it is not intended for external exposure to dust or moisture. Ensure compatible wiring and shielding for high‑speed USB signals and avoid tight bends near the header to maintain signal integrity.
