USB Adapter DeLOCK 41981 Type-E Key A Pin Header female to internal Key A female

The DeLOCK USB adapter converts an internal USB Type-E Key A pin header female into an internal USB Type-A female connector, enabling connection of cables that provide either one USB Type-C or two USB Type-A interfaces. It is an active adapter with an integrated chipset that supports USB Type-C channel configuration (CC1 and CC2) and complies with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB 3.1 Gen 2) specifications, offering up to 5 Gbit/s transfer speed. The compact adapter measures 22 mm × 40 mm × 11 mm and is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.

Advantages

The adapter supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates up to 5 Gbit/s and provides flexibility by converting a Type-E Key A pin header to a Type-A internal female port. Its active design with a built-in chipset enables USB Type-C channel configuration (CC1 and CC2). Small dimensions allow installation in confined spaces inside PC cases or other equipment.

Suitable for

• Internal USB expansion in desktop PCs and workstations

How to use

Install the adapter by connecting the internal Type-E Key A female end to the corresponding motherboard pin header. Attach the internal cable (Type-C or Type-A) to the adapter’s internal Type-A female port. Ensure correct orientation of the header and secure any nearby cables to avoid strain. After physical installation, the connected device should be recognised by the operating system (Windows 10 / 8.1) and ready for use at supported speeds.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use high-quality internal cables and ensure the motherboard header matches the Type-E Key A pinout. Avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress on the adapter and connected cables. If using Type-C devices that require specific CC configuration, ensure the adapter’s built-in chipset meets the device requirements.
