Interface analysis of Type-C and USB-C connectors

At present, the proportion of electronic devices in our lives is increasing, and all electronic products cannot do without interfaces. Whether it is mobile phones or computers, more and more Type-C interfaces are appearing. However, many users are not very clear about its concept. HUATN connectors will tell you about the Type-C interface

 

Is it Type-C or USB-C?

When applied on mobile phones, many people refer to it as the Type-C interface, but when applied on computers, more people call it the USB-C interface. Although called differently, essentially the same interface can be collectively referred to as a C-class interface, commonly known as the USB3.1 (2.0/3.0) Type-C interface.

 

 

Type refers to the interface type

The commonly used interfaces on computers belong to Type-A, while Type-B is applied to printers, and Type-C will become the future trend.

 

The USB Type-C connector is currently widely used mainly due to its powerful features, such as:

 

Supports forward and reverse insertion

While the Type-C interface becomes thinner, its main feature is that it no longer has a single insertion direction and can fundamentally solve the problem of unsuccessful insertion at once. From the picture, it can be seen that the interface has a total of 24 pins, with 12 on each side. After insertion, the two sides are completely symmetrical.

 

Supporting alternative modes

After supporting alternative modes, Type-C has more diverse features, such as the familiar DisplayPort video signal transmission and Intel's Thunderbolt 3 interface. The advantage of doing so is that it can further unify the interface.

 

Huateng Electronics USB connectors not only come in MINI, A, B, but also C types. There are a wide variety of USB connector products, and HUATN provides USB connectors that comply with USB association standards. We have added anti pry and unplug structures in our design to better protect the product from damage caused by poor customer operation. When connecting to the machine power, it can be hot swapped, with different versions of USB, It determines its different data transmission speeds.
