We use charge connectors every day as essential tools to charge our devices. We have to plug in our phones, tablets or other gadgets into a charger when they run out of battery. Unfortunately, it is very important to learn about the types of charge connectors. We can then select the appropriate one for our devices and guarantee that they're being charged correctly.
Different types of charge connectors abound today. The most common ones you’ve probably heard of include USB-A, USB-C, Lightning, and Micro-USB. They are not all the same, though, as each type of connector has a different shape and size. That's why it is important to use the right cable that supports the connector for your device. For instance, if you own an iPhone, you will need a kind of cable known as a Lightning cable, to charge it. Most Android phones, on the other hand, charge via either Micro-USB or USB-C cables.
Since then, charge connector technology has advanced radically and made our lives significantly easier. Here, devices used to come with bulky chargers that used proprietary connectors, which were not used by other devices. So, if you had multiple gadgets, you may have needed different chargers for each one, which was rather confusing and inconvenient. Most devices now have standard connectors — think USB-C — that are far more versatile and user-friendly. The nice thing about USB-C connectors is, they can be inserted either way. This means you don’t have to be concerned which side is up when you connect your device, just plug it in without worrying.
InterestObviously, you are looking at two specific industry standards for devices that require a charge connector: Type-C and USB. Compatibility: The connector should be compatible with your specific device. USB-C is on the rise, as it can quickly charge devices and works with a variety of different gadgets. That said, for older devices that are still using (legacy) Micro-USB adapters, Lightning adapters, etc., you need to ensure that you keep the appropriate cable handy for those chargers. Using the correct connector will save you problems when charging your devices.
Basically, each kind of charge connector has pro and con. For example, USB-C is quite universal and can be used for fast charging devices. But it may not work with absolutely every device out there. Now, lightning cables are made for Apple specific products and are council pros as they are stronger, durable and usually more expensive than the rest. Older devices will probably use micro-USB cables, but micro-USB connectors charge slower and less efficiently than newer types such as USB-C. Knowing the pros and cons of each type can help you figure out which one you may need.
