USB Connector Type Guide
A USB data connector is a connector used to connect computers and external devices, which uses USB (Universal Serial Bus) technology to transfer data. It can connect various external devices, such as printers, external hard drives, cameras, digital cameras, mobile phones, etc. As more and more people come into contact with smart devices, they will encounter various USB interfaces. For many people, there are only three types of interfaces: USB interface, Android interface, and Apple interface. As for type-c, it will be called another Android interface. Similar encyclopedias, take you to clarify these USB interfaces
USB Type A
USB type A is the most common connector. It is usually used to connect devices such as computers, keyboards, mice, etc. The USB-A connector looks like a flat rectangle with four small pins. Generally speaking, the USB-A end is larger than the device it is inserted into and is a common connector rather than an internal connector. USB Type-A, also known as USB-A. Until now, many PCs, PC peripherals, mobile phone chargers, and so on still use this interface, which is currently the most popular USB interface.
USB-A is also divided into male and female seats. The common A-end of a USB-A data cable is the male socket, while the one on the charger is the female socket.
USB Type B
USB type is commonly used in Android phones (common in mid to low end, with more and more phones adopting type C), as well as various charging devices. USB-B connectors are gradually being phased out and replaced by USB-C. However, you may still find it on some older devices. This type of connector is similar to the USB Type A connector, but a missing corner has been cut off and replaced with an angled one.
USB Type C
The USB-C connector has recently become one of the mainstream connectors, serving as a charging and data port. Its appearance is similar to a trapezoid and can be inserted in two directions. The advantages of USB-C are fast speed, high reliability, and practicality, making it a standard feature for more and more new devices. Its small size makes it easy to fit into the smallest peripheral devices, such as smartphones, Bluetooth speakers, etc. The C-type connector supports forward and reverse plugging (both sides can be inserted), supports higher power transmission and bidirectional power transmission, and integrates functions such as charging, display, and data transmission.
USB Mini B
Due to its relatively large size, USB-A is not user-friendly for some portable or smaller devices. MicroUSB was born due to demand. The pin definition of MicroUSB is similar to that of various types of USB, but there is an additional pin designed as an ID blank. As mentioned earlier, MicroUSB is more commonly used in some mobile phones (currently fully transitioning to USB-C interfaces) and various types of USB small devices (such as USB fans). The current reason for the low cost of MicroUSB is that a large number of USB devices with lower unit prices still choose this type of USB interface. Mini USB connectors are used to connect small devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, etc. Its size is much smaller than USB-A and USB-B connectors.
USB2.0 and USB 3.1 Internal Connector
USB 3.0 not only has speed advantages over 2.0, but also has advantages in charging current. At the beginning of 2.0 release, a current of 500mA could meet the power supply of all USB devices, but with the development of technology, today's peripherals usually require larger currents . The transmission speed of USB 3.0 can reach 5 Gbps, while earlier USB 2.0 speeds were only 480 Mbps.
USB Connectors Features
1. Plug and play: Users can easily install and remove external devices.
2. Hot swappable: System resources can be automatically configured on the host based on the addition or removal of peripherals.
3. Connecting multiple devices: USB has strong connectivity and can connect up to 127 peripherals to the same system in a linked form.
4. Standardized design: All USB devices use the same plug and socket, which greatly simplifies the installation process.
5. Low cost: The design and manufacturing process of USB is relatively simple, and all intelligent mechanisms of the system reside in the host, thereby reducing the cost of device manufacturing.
6. Protection performance: The USB plug has a casing that first contacts the socket before connecting the pins to the host. At the same time, in order to shield the wires inside the connector, the casing is grounded, which also helps to eliminate static electricity.
7. Low voltage and low current consumption: USB devices typically only require a small amount of electricity, making them particularly useful for battery powered devices.
8. Flexibility: USB connectors can be easily inserted and removed, and their design also allows for minimal movement, minimizing damage to connectors and sockets.
9. Fast transmission speed: USB 3.0 can reach a transmission speed of 5 Gbps, while earlier USB 2.0 speeds were only 480 Mbps.
Overall, USB connectors have diverse and practical features, ranging from low cost and flexibility to high-speed data transmission, making them an indispensable part of modern electronic devices.
Simple classification and identification of USB interface types
1. As more and more people come into contact with smart devices, they will encounter various USB interfaces. For many people, there are only three types of interfaces: USB interface, Android interface, and Apple interface. As for type-c, it will be called another Android interface. Similar encyclopedia, take you to clarify these USB interfaces.
2. Common interfaces include type A, micro B, and type C;
a. Type A: Mainly used on computers
b. Micro B: Commonly used in Android phones (common in mid to low end, with more and more phones adopting type C), as well as various charging devices
c. Type C: Currently common in various mid to high end mobile phones, such as Android flagship phones. More and more other devices also have this interface, such as laptops, portable hard drives, motherboards.
3. Many external USB devices such as printers, monitors, USB HUBs, etc. use Type B interfaces. Generally speaking, USB interfaces on PCs are standard Type A, while external devices often use Type B.
4. USB 3.0 not only has speed advantages over 2.0, but also has advantages in charging current. At the beginning of 2.0 release, a current of 500mA could meet the power supply of all USB devices, but with the development of technology, today's peripherals usually require larger currents.
5. Type C is just an interface type, whether it is USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1 depends entirely on the manufacturer. Although type C combines various advantages, it will not completely replace other USB interfaces, especially since it cannot replace type A. The high cost is something that everyone is unwilling to bear.
6. Except for type A, which can be backward compatible with 2.0, other types B, micro B, and micro A cannot be backward compatible
