In the current society, USB connectors are basically everywhere, the USB interface has become the main standard for data transmission and communication between the PC and other electronic devices. This article Guozhi electronic connector manufacturers mainly to explain what is the USB Type-A/B/C interface connector!
Although the USB interface standards have existed for a long time, but the USB connector standards have not really gone through many major versions, common USB connector types are mainly divided into: USB Type-A interface connector, USB Type-B interface connector and USB Type-C interface connector three categories.
USB Type-A interface connector introduction
Although USB Type-A is currently the most common USB connector, it is gradually being phased out by the USB Type-C connector, and in a few years it will not be fully adopted. Usually, the USB 3.0 connector corresponds to the USB Type-A connector, which is usually a blue jack.
USB Type-B interface connector introduction
Introduction to USB Type-B interface connectors: USB Type-B connectors are used in large devices, most commonly printer devices, and since these are relatively large connectors, they are rarely seen in portable consumer devices. there are two main versions of USB Type-B, the first is the square USB Type-B connector, usually used for USB 2.0 or lower The first is the square USB Type-B connector, typically used for USB 2.0 or lower. The second is the USB Type-B connector, which is typically used for USB 3.0 or higher.
In addition, compatibility of different sizes of USB Type-B connectors is tricky. While USB 2.0 Type-B connectors are backward compatible with USB 1.0, they may not be forward compatible with some USB Type-B ports for USB 3.0. And USB Type-B ports for USB 3.0 were later modified to be backward compatible with USB 2.o with USB Type-B interface connectors. In addition to the different form factors, USB Type-B connectors for USB 3.0 often come with blue inserts.
USB Type-C interface connector introduction
USB Type-C Interface Connector Introduction: As the latest and best USB connector type, the USB Type-C connector is superior to all other USB connector types in every way. It has more pins for data transfer, higher power transfer capacity, and is more durable, and its 24 pins can be repurposed for non-USB data transfer protocols, thus reducing the number of ports required for mobile devices. And the USB Type-C interface connector is also much smaller than the USB Type-A connector, which means more ports can be mounted on the same surface area.
In addition, the USB Type-C connector enables several features that are not available with other USB connector types, so smartphones can now enjoy faster transfer speeds and laptops can be powered via USB.
