What is type-c interface?

Type-C stands for USB Type-C interface, which is a hardware interface specification for Universal Serial Bus (USB).

Type-C mainly has the following advantages:

(1) Slim design. The size of the interface socket is approximately 8.3mm × 2.5mm, which is 1/3 of the size of the standard USB Type-A interface.

(2) Support "forward and reverse insertion". The front and back of the Type-C interface are the same, supporting the "reverse plug" function that can be inserted from both sides, solving the problem of "USB is always not plugged in correctly" and can withstand 10,000 repeated plugging and unplugging.

(3) The maximum data transmission speed can reach 10Gbit/second, which is the USB3.1 standard.

(4) USB Type-C supports USB PD protocol (power transfer protocol), which can achieve higher voltage and current, deliver power up to 100 watts, and can freely change power conveying direction. Therefore USB Type-C can achieve fast charging and bidirectional charging. For example, users can not only use their laptops to charge mobile devices, but also use other devices or mobile power sources to charge their laptops.
