A Compact USB-C Receptacle for a Type-E Header
Type-E to USB-C Adapter
A motherboard may have an available Type-E socket, but it may not include a suitable USB-C cable arrangement for your build. BC-DAF009 changes that internal connector to a USB-C female receptacle in a compact body. It does not, by itself, relocate the connection to the front of a closed case or provide a panel-mount fixing.

A USB-C Socket Does Not Define Every Function
The 10Gbps listing describes the data capability of the main BC-DAF009 configuration. It is not a promise of 10Gbps on a lower-speed host, and it does not prove USB PD fast charging, DisplayPort video, or Thunderbolt support. Specify the functions you need, then verify them on the exact motherboard, adapter, and cable arrangement.
For a front-panel USB-C receptacle secured to the enclosure, compare the Type-E to USB-C cable assemblies. A cable and suitable mounting hardware can place the port where users can reach it without loading the motherboard header directly.
Do Not Mix the Main Model with the Reverse-Connector Variants
| Model | Connector arrangement | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| BC-DAF009 | Type-E male to USB-C female | Motherboard socket, access, and intended USB-C device cable |
| BC-DAF009-UE | USB-A male to Type-E female | Host-side USB-A connection, Type-E harness and variant-specific data/power limits |
| BC-DAF009-CE | USB-C male to Type-E female | Host-side USB-C connection, Type-E harness, role and variant-specific capability |
The UE and CE models have different connector genders and connection paths. Do not copy the main model specifications onto them without a variant review. Do not connect two powered host outputs together or use an unverified cable chain simply because the plugs fit.
Compare the Reverse-Connector Variants
These two alternatives use USB-A or USB-C male plugs with a Type-E female socket. They are not the same connection as the main BC-DAF009. Match the source port, Type-E harness, and intended function before selecting a variant.
P/N: BC-DAF009-UE
Use the pictured USB-A male-to-Type-E female arrangement when your approved host-and-harness design requires these connector genders. Confirm the pinout, data rate, and available power for this variant. Do not assume the main Type-E-to-USB-C model specifications apply to the USB-A version.
P/N: BC-DAF009-CE
Select the pictured USB-C male-to-Type-E female arrangement for a reviewed USB-C host-to-harness configuration. Confirm the role, wiring, and required data behavior of the complete assembly. A USB-C plug alone does not establish PD charging, video output, or Thunderbolt capability.
Plan Access and Cable Support
The main BC-DAF009 has a Type-E male plug at one end and a USB-C female receptacle at the other. It is a short, rigid adapter, not a panel-mounted cable. Confirm how the USB-C cable will be supported and whether it can be safely accessed in the finished enclosure.
For repeated external plugging, consider a securely mounted port and cable assembly instead of transferring that force to an internal motherboard header. Send a layout photo with your inquiry so the connection can be reviewed in context.
Do not assume USB PD or another fast-charge protocol from the USB-C socket alone. Available power depends on the motherboard header and complete assembly. Specify the required voltage, current, and charging protocol for review; this adapter is not an independent high-power charger.
The main model requires a compatible internal Type-E socket with suitable electrical support and physical clearance. Check the exact motherboard manual and cable routing. An older 19-pin USB header uses a different connector and won’t fit directly.
The main model uses an aluminum-alloy outer housing around the connector assembly. That construction alone does not establish a measured EMI shielding level, temperature rating, or durability cycle count. Request the relevant specification if those properties are part of your acceptance criteria.
USB 2.0 operation is listed for the main configuration, subject to the host, cable, and device. A USB 2.0 device remains limited to its own capability; the adapter does not convert its traffic into 10Gbps data. Check legacy-device operation during sample evaluation.
With system power disconnected, align the Type-E key and seat the adapter in the compatible motherboard socket. Connect and secure the USB-C cable, then restore power and test the intended device. For external panel access, use an appropriate mounting arrangement rather than repeatedly plugging the motherboard header under force.
Request the current connector drawing and agreed plating specification if thickness matters to your project. An unqualified “5μ” value is ambiguous and should not be interpreted as a verified micrometer thickness or durability guarantee.
Its compact size can suit a prepared test or service kit, but it is an internal-header accessory, not a universal travel adapter. Verify the equipment and connector arrangement first, disconnect system power for installation, and avoid pulling on the motherboard socket.
Send the exact model, order quantity, motherboard or source-port details, mating-cable photos, and intended devices. Include required data performance, current demand, clearance, and inspection criteria so the quotation and sample review reflect the complete installation.

Planning a Motherboard Type-E to USB-C Connection
Decide where the port must be reached
A small adapter solves a connector mismatch, but it doesn’t meet every mechanical requirement. If the USB-C connection remains inside a controlled enclosure or test fixture, a compact body may suit the layout. If users need front-panel access, plan the port location, fixing, and cable route before choosing the adapter.
Identify the exact connection path
For BC-DAF009, the Type-E male plug connects to a compatible motherboard socket, and the USB-C receptacle accepts the device cable. The UE and CE alternatives reverse the Type-E connector gender and use different host-side plugs. Document the host, adapter, harness, and device in order; do not connect two host outputs or assume an undocumented reverse use is safe.
Specify data separately from charging and video
The main model lists 10Gbps USB data. Check the motherboard header specification, the external cable, and the device before using that rate as an acceptance target. USB-C describes the connector, not a guarantee of high-voltage charging, display output, or Thunderbolt. If any of those functions is essential, request a configuration-specific review rather than relying on a USB-C logo or a metal housing.
Check fit with both connectors mated
The nominal 25.3 x 14.6 x 6.9mm size helps with initial planning. Allow additional space for the USB-C plug and cable bend, and verify that the Type-E key matches the motherboard socket. Avoid a layout where a cover pushes the cable sideways or routine servicing uses the adapter as a handle.
Install before restoring system power
Shut down and disconnect power before working on the internal header. Follow the motherboard instructions and ESD precautions. Seat the keyed Type-E plug evenly, support the cable, and inspect the clearance before restarting. The USB-C plug is mechanically reversible, while the internal Type-E plug must follow its key; neither should be forced.
Make the sample check representative
Test the actual motherboard, cable, and device combination. Check enumeration, reconnect behavior, and transfers at the required link rate, including both USB-C plug orientations. Review available current with the intended bus-powered devices. A successful demonstration with one device does not prove universal compatibility or certify the adapter.
Turn requirements into an order specification
- Choose BC-DAF009, BC-DAF009-UE or BC-DAF009-CE explicitly.
- Provide source-port and mating-cable photos.
- State the required data rate, current demand, and installation space.
- Identify any temperature, mechanical, or regulatory documentation needs.
- Agree sample acceptance criteria and inspection requirements.
- Include quantity, packaging, and labeling requirements in the quotation request.
For a production project, an agreed connector drawing and sample configuration are more useful than a blanket compatibility statement. Compare the USB Type-E connection range or send your layout for a quotation. We can review whether a compact adapter, cable extension, or panel-mounted assembly is the better fit.
