This adapter allows you to connect a PS/2 keyboard (5-pin male) to a computer that has an older AT keyboard port (6-pin female mini-DIN).
No, this adapter is specifically designed for PS/2 keyboards and AT ports. It will not work for PS/2 mice.
It means the electrical contacts on the connectors have a thin layer of gold plating. This helps improve conductivity and resist corrosion, leading to a more reliable connection.
The housing material is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a common and durable plastic for cables and connectors.
No, this adapter is only for PS/2 to AT connections. It cannot convert USB keyboards.
This product comes as a single unit (1 pc(s)) per pack.
The adapter housing is beige.
Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into both the keyboard and the computer's AT port. Verify that the computer's BIOS is configured to support AT keyboard input. Try a different PS/2 keyboard if available to rule out a keyboard issue.
Check for any physical damage to the adapter's cable or connectors. Ensure the contacts are clean and free from corrosion. A loose connection can cause performance issues; reseat the adapter firmly.
Ensure you are aligning the adapter's pins with the port correctly. Do not force the connection. Check the port on the computer for any bent pins or obstructions.
Setup: Simply plug the 5-pin male end of the adapter into your PS/2 keyboard's cable. Then, connect the 6-pin female end of the adapter to the AT keyboard port on your computer.
Compatibility: This adapter is designed for PS/2 keyboard to AT port connections only. It is not suitable for other types of peripherals or connector conversions (e.g., mouse ports, USB devices).
Care: Keep the adapter in a dry environment. Avoid excessive pulling or bending of the cable. To clean, gently wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure connectors are free from dust and debris before plugging in.
