LORDWORLD PCIe to USB 3.2 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5 4 Ports

SKU CH-F08M-H8ZR9

Adds four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports to a Raspberry Pi 5 via its 16-pin PCIe link, with onboard power monitoring and a reserved fan vent

  • Add four high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 ports via the Pi 5 PCIe interface
  • Connect through the 16-pin PCIe cable for direct high-bandwidth access
  • Monitor power status in real time with the onboard monitoring chip and EEPROM
  • Control individual USB port power through software for precise peripheral management
  • Reserved airflow vent accommodates a cooling fan to keep the Pi 5 running stably

PCIe to USB 3.2 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5

The LORDWORLD HAT adds four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports to a Raspberry Pi 5 through its 16‑pin PCIe connector. Makers and embedded developers can attach storage, cameras or other high‑speed peripherals without driver installation. The board targets projects that need more USB bandwidth than the Pi’s native ports provide.

Onboard monitoring and cooling allowance

An integrated power‑monitoring chip and EEPROM give real‑time visibility of USB port power status and allow software‑controlled port power switching. A reserved airflow vent accommodates an optional cooling fan, helping the Pi 5 maintain stable temperatures under sustained peripheral loads. No active cooling is included on the HAT itself.

HAT form factor with 16‑pin cable link

The module mounts directly on the Pi 5’s GPIO header as a standard HAT and connects via the supplied 16‑pin PCIe ribbon cable. Four Type‑A receptacles face outward for easy cable routing in enclosures. Builders who need internal header connectors or more than four ports will require a different solution.

Highlights

  • Add four high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 ports via the Pi 5 PCIe interface
  • Connect through the 16-pin PCIe cable for direct high-bandwidth access
  • Monitor power status in real time with the onboard monitoring chip and EEPROM
  • Control individual USB port power through software for precise peripheral management
  • Reserved airflow vent accommodates a cooling fan to keep the Pi 5 running stably

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 16-pin PCIe cable to the Raspberry Pi 5 without blocking the fan vent?

Align the 16-pin cable with the Pi 5 PCIe socket, seat the HAT on the GPIO header, then verify the reserved airflow vent sits clear of any fan shroud so cooling air reaches the Pi 5 processor.

Which onboard component will need firmware updates or replacement first during long-term deployment?

The power monitoring chip and EEPROM handle real-time status and port power control; keep their firmware current via Raspberry Pi OS updates to maintain accurate monitoring and software-controlled port switching.

What throughput ceiling appears first when all four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports run heavy sustained transfers?

The single PCIe lane feeding the hub caps aggregate bandwidth at the 3.2 Gen1 link rate, so simultaneous high-load devices will contend for that shared upstream pipe before individual port limits are reached.
