This pages gives a brief description of our USB cables and adaptors designed for use with motherboards and other equipment that use 2mm pitch pin headers.
These cables and adaptors allow standard USB devices to be connected to these motherboards.
Please note these cables are NOT SUITABLE for use with motherboards that use standard USB pin headers.
For standard motherboard headers you should view the cables on
this page
Pin headers with a 2mm pitch are smaller than standard motherboard USB pin headers. The
spacing between the pins is 2mm compared to 2.54mm on a standard USB header. To check the
pitch of your pin header you should measure the distance between the first and last pin on
one row of pins on the header. For a 5 pin header the distance will be 8mm for a header
that uses a 2mm pitch.
2mm pitch headers are used by some manufacturers on their motheboards, for example some
shuttle, dell and IBM motherboards have a USB header with a 2mm pitch. Motherboards used
in embedded systems and other special applications also sometimes use 2mm pitch headers.
All cables are USB 2.0.
2mm pitch to 2.54mm pitch USB pin header cable (single device)
This cable allows you to connect a single 4 or 5 pin USB device with a standard 2.54mm pitch header to a motherboard USB pin header with a 2mm pitch. .
The cables are 55cm long and feature :-
2mm pitch to 2.54mm pitch USB pin header cable (two device)
This cable allows you to connect two 4 or 5 pin USB devices with standard 2.54mm pitch headers to a 2x5 way motherboard USB pin header with a 2mm pitch. .
Alternatively you can connect a single USB unit with a standard 2.54mm pitch 8/9 or 10 pin header to a 2x5 way motherboard USB pin header with a 2mm pitch.
When connecting 4/5 pin devices, these can be located in different parts of the PC case, for example in different drive bays.
The cables are 55cm long and feature :-
The two standard pitch 5 way connectors can be placed alongside each other to form a 2x5 way connector.
2mm pitch USB pin header to standard USB mini B connector cable
This cable allows you to connect devices with a standard 5 pin USB mini B connector to a motherboard with a 2mm pitch USB pin header.
The cables are 60cm long and feature :-
2mm pitch USB pin header to standard USB B connector cable
This cable allows you to connect devices with a standard USB B connector to a motherboard with a 2mm pitch USB pin header.
The cables are 60cm long and feature :-
2mm pitch USB pin header to USB A female socket adaptor cable
These cables convert one row of pins on a 2mm pitch motherboard USB pin header into a standard female USB A type socket.
The cables allow any device that uses a standard USB A plug/cable to be connected to a motherboard USB header that uses a 2mm pitch header.
The cables are available in a variety of lengths and feature :-
