Type-C interface is also called USB-C interface.
The size of the USB-C interface is 8.3×2.5 mm, which is smaller than the current PC USB interface, but slightly larger than the 6.85×1.8 mm micro-USB interface used in many mobile phones. As for power transmission specifications, the wire standard is DC 5V, 5A, while the connector is 3A. Type-C is not compatible with any existing types, so additional adapter equipment is required.
At present, not only the newly launched smartphones basically support Type-C connectors, but also laptops, digital cameras, smart speakers, mobile power supplies and other devices have also begun to adopt Type-C USB interfaces. For example, Apple has completely changed its MacBook laptops to pure USB Type-C interfaces to allow users to transfer data or charge. There are also market rumors that Apple will also use the USB Type-C interface on future iPhones.
Advantages of Type-C compared to other interfaces:
1. It does not need to distinguish between positive and negative
2. Can support up to 5A high current.
3. With the support of USB4 standard, the maximum transmission rate can reach 40Gbps.
4. It will make a sound when inserted correctly.
5. Through USB Power Delivery technology, it can be used to charge 3C products (such as laptops and smartphones).
6. Enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI mitigation) characteristics.
7. Optional integrated DisplayPort, HDMI, MHL[5][6].
8. Optional integrated Thunderbolt.
9. Optional integrated USB4.
