Characteristics and precautions of USB Type-C female socket

Characteristics of USB Type-C Connector

Feature 1: The Type-C connector supports the "positive and negative insertion" function that can be inserted from both sides, and can withstand 10000 repeated insertions and removals;

Feature 2: The maximum data transmission speed of the Type-C connector reaches 10Gbit/s, which is also the standard of USB 3.1;

Feature 3: The size of the Type-C connector interface socket end is approximately 8.3mm × 2.5mm with a slim design;

Feature 4: The standard specification cable equipped with Type-C connector can pass 3A current, and also supports "USB PD" that exceeds the current USB power supply capability, providing up to 100W of power.

1. The USB Type-C connector port of the versatile new MacBook can transfer data, suspend charging, and also serve as a video output port to connect external display devices.

2. In theory, the higher transfer rate of USB Type-C connector ports is 10G per second. b. However, Apple stated that the USB-C port of the new MacBook has a higher transfer rate of 5Gbps. A larger output voltage of 20 volts can accelerate charging time. The USB-A type has a maximum transmission rate of 5Gbps and an output voltage of 5V so far.

3. The backward compatible USB Type-C connector can be compatible with the old USB standard, but users need to purchase an additional adapter to achieve compatibility.

4. Unlike the old USB ports where power can only be transmitted in one direction, the USB Type-C connector type port has bidirectional power transmission, which means it can have two transmission power modes. So, users can not only charge their mobile devices with their laptops, but also use other devices or power banks to charge their laptops.

Precautions for using TYPE-C connector

Note 1: For the installation environment requirements of TYPE-C connectors, generally, if the connector manufacturer is located in areas with heavy water vapor in the kitchen, bathroom, or toilet, a protective box should be added to the TYPE-C connector. Otherwise, in areas with heavy water vapor, the internal capacitance of the socket is prone to short circuits and burn out the socket.

Note 2: It is recommended not to use multiple TYPE-C connectors in parallel or in parallel at the same time, as the power of the operating current is relatively large when multiple sockets are running. The Type-C interface is far beyond the range of the DC power socket. Once the socket cannot withstand the excessive current, it may directly cause the possibility of burning out the TYPE-C connector.

Note 3: Do not apply too much force to the insertion and extraction of the plug and TYPE-C connector, and do not pull it out too forcefully, otherwise it may cause loose contact between the plug and TYPE-C connector.
