Most Common Types of USB which you must know

 As we all know to connect a device to another we need of wire a port. 

So in this post we are going to discuss some commonly used for in brief. 

So without wasting the time we should start about it

So there are many types of ports and jacks but we are going to talk about some commonly used sport which we can see on our daily life basis

1. USB TYPE A

The common rectangular USB plug and socket. Type A is the port on the computer (the host). The ports on the peripheral or mobile device are Type B, Mini USB, Micro USB or Lightning. Before USB-C was introduced, Type A ports were found on every computer.

2. USB TYPE B

What is USB Type-B used for? You'll typically find USB Type-B ports on larger devices you connect to your computer, such as printers and scanners. You might also have external storage devices or drives that use them. Most USB Type-B connectors are at one end of a USB Type-B to USB Type-A cable.

3. USB TYPE C

USB-C is an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C connector was developed by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the group of companies that has developed, certified, and shepherded the USB standard over the years. The USB-IF counts more than 700 companies in its membership, among them Apple, Dell, HP, Intel, Microsoft, and Samsung.

This broad acceptance by the big dogs is important, because it's part of why USB-C has been so readily accepted by PC manufacturers. Contrast this with the earlier Apple-promoted (and developed) Lightning and MagSafe connectors, which had limited acceptance beyond Apple products, and became obsolete thanks in no small part to USB-C.

4. USB MICRO B TYPE

Micro-B USB is similar to its Micro-A counterpart, as it is also used in modern gadgets. It’s commonly found in small electronic devices like cell phones.

While it’s also smaller than Mini-B USB, it can support On-The-Go features and the same transfer rate as micro-A. In fact, USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices have micro-B ports that look identical.

Aside from those, micro-B USB has both male and female connectors on micro USB cables. This allows different devices to utilize either of the two connection types.

Micro-B USB has a black receptacle and a 5-pin design. Its ports and connectors feature tapered corners, which give them a half-hexagon shape.

5. USB MINI B TYPE

Digital cameras typically have a Mini-B USB socket for the Mini-B/Type-A cable that plugs into the computer or hub.

6. USB Lightening

This USB 2.0 cable connects your iPhone, iPad or iPod with Lightning connector to your computer's USB port for syncing and charging. Or you can connect to the Apple USB Power Adapter for convenient charging from a wall outlet.
