Corn Electronics M.2 Key E to Mini PCIe Adapter

SKU CH-B53G-NNH7V

Converts an M.2 Key E module to a Mini PCIe slot with PCIe and USB 2.0 support

  • TypeM.2 Key E to Mini PCIe
  • Adds M.2 Key E module to Mini PCIe slot
  • PCIe and USB 2.0 bus interfaces supported
  • Fits 3030 and 3042 M.2 card sizes
  • Works with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8 or Linux
  • 55 x 31 mm PCB board weighs 10 g

Purpose and fit

This adapter lets you install an M.2 Key E module into a full-size or half-size Mini PCIe slot on a laptop or desktop motherboard. It targets users who need to add Wi-Fi, WWAN, GPS or Bluetooth mini-cards to systems that only provide an mPCIe socket. The board carries both PCIe and USB 2.0 signals so the host can communicate with the inserted module.

Upgrade path

It replaces a direct M.2 Key E slot when the platform lacks one, allowing reuse of existing M.2 3030 or 3042 cards. The jump is worthwhile when a laptop or embedded board has a spare mPCIe connector but no native M.2 Key E provision. Intel 9560NGW modules are explicitly not supported, so buyers with that card must choose a different solution.

Installation notes

The green PCB measures 55 by 31 millimetres and weighs about 10 grams, fitting tight spaces without obstruction. A small wrench and four screws are included to secure the M.2 module and the adapter in the mPCIe slot. No drivers are required for the adapter itself; the host operating system only needs drivers for the specific mini-card being installed.

Questions about this item

Will this 55 mm by 31 mm adapter board fit inside my laptop's half-size mPCIe slot?

The board measures 55 x 31 mm and supports both full-size and half-size mPCIe slots, so it fits the smaller footprint.

Which screw holes do I use to secure the M.2 3030 or 3042 card, and what tool is supplied?

The package includes four screws and a wrench; use the holes that match the 3030 or 3042 card length and tighten with the provided wrench.

Will I need to replace the adapter if I later install an Intel 9560NGW module?

The Intel 9560NGW is explicitly listed as incompatible, so a different adapter would be required for that module.
