Type-C under simple science popularization

发布时间:2023-02-16作者:Shenzhen BBJ technology co., LTD点击:366

Unconsciously, Type-C has become the mainstream in 2018. More and more mobile phones use the Type-C interface, and even notebooks including Apple's MacBook use this port. What is the difference between Type-C? Let's do a simple science popularization today.

First of all, Type-C can be plugged in both sides, just like Apple's Lightning interface, while the traditional mobile phone interface has positive and negative points. If you don't observe it carefully, it will often be plugged in wrong. Therefore, the advantage of Type-C interface is really too human. You don't have to divide the front and back, just plug it in and you can use it. Secondly, a thinner fuselage requires a thinner port, which is one of the reasons why Type-C was born. The USB-C port is 0.83 cm long and 0.26 cm wide. The old USB port is 1.4 cm long and 0.65 cm wide, which is out of date. This also means that the end of the Type-C data cable will be one third of the size of the standard USB-A data cable plug.


Type-C also supports a maximum output power of 100W, which means fast charging is supported. In fact, fast charging only uses the structural characteristics of Type-C port, such as PD fast charging protocol. Apple X uses the 18W PD fast charging protocol, which is much higher than the 5W output power of the standard charging head, and the official data can be charged to 50% in half an hour.

However, after the 3.5mm headphone jack is cancelled by mobile phones, the task of outputting audio signals falls on the Type-C port. And it supports the function of transmitting video, which also makes many thin and light notebooks cancel the video output port, making the fuselage thinner and thinner. The thinness, portability and expansibility of Type-C port, coupled with the vigorous promotion of many manufacturers, make the interface of equipment gradually unified. Maybe one day, it will be enough to have a charger at home.
