Product Information

There are currently several USB types in widespread use. However, USB connector types should not be confused with USB generations. Generation refers to the age and speed of the connector, while the type is defined by the shape of the port and the corresponding cables or plugs that can be used with it. The most popular and common USB port type today is probably the USB Type-A, also known as Standard-A. USB A connections will be very familiar to most PC or laptop users as a rectangular slot of about 14mm wide by 6mm high.

Female USB connectors allow the male part of a USB cable or plug to be inserted into any compatible device. Once coupled in this way, the two devices can share both power and data over their common USB connection. In short, almost every device that includes a PCB (printed circuit board) will likely have at least one type of USB port on it somewhere. PCB USB connectors and related components are cheap to buy, and easy to mount in a variety of ways including panel, surface, through-hole, and cable mount. USB ports and plugs were developed to simplify the process of connecting multiple different USB devices and peripherals to computers. While many older port types are still in widespread use today (especially for legacy hardware), fewer new peripherals are being manufactured that rely on them. USB 2.0 was a generational improvement that launched in 2001 and was later revised. It remained the latest and fastest USB standard available until 2011 when USB 3.0 arrived. The USB3C-97MICRO-* range of USB 5Gbps Type A (male) to Micro B (male) cables support a data transfer rate up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), which is about ten times faster than USB 2.0 technology.Modern USB devices are starting to appear with just one USB C port replacing all others this means you are restricted on what older equipment you can use. The way to get around this and use older equipment is via an adapter. Our USB Type C to Micro B adapter will allow you to use a USB Type Micro B cable on your USB Type C equipment for charging and data transfer. As this adapter is for charging and data transfer it don t matter if your devices are USB C only. USB Type-B ports are roughly square, rather than being a narrow slot like Type-A. The upper corners of the square USB Type-B connector (and its corresponding USB-B plugs) are slightly angled. This means the receptacle will only accept a connection when the male part is orientated the right way up. This handy guide to USB connectors will tell you all you need to know about choosing and buying them online. By the end of the guide, you will be familiar with exactly what USB connectors are, and which types are best in which roles.

USB 2.0 connectors refer to the generation, not the USB type. Most USB types will be compatible with all generations of USB standard, but newer gen ports will be faster. Mini A/B - a versatile connector that can accept either mini A-type or mini B-type plugs and cables USB Type-C connectors are one of the newest and fastest standards of USB type. Increasing numbers of the latest cutting-edge hardware devices are now being released with one or more USB Type-C ports already built in. A Micro USB or Micro-B connector (more properly referred to as a Micro-USB B, per official USB-IF recognition) is a smaller sized version of the USB Mini-b. Both are physically reduced models of Micro USB connector. An industrial connector is typically one that is designed for extremely hard-wearing use in a more challenging environment. This might include versions designed with:Unlike Type-A and Type-B connectors, female USB-C ports can accept a male USB-C plug inserted either way up, as the terminals at both port and plug are completely symmetrical. Type-C USB connectors can be used with adapters that allow the connection of various other USB types, and they are capable of transferring power and data to/from all previous generations of USB devices.
