There are several interfaces for charging data lines

Author:


We often encounter data cables that do not match our mobile phones. Newly purchased data cables cannot charge our current mobile phones, and others cannot use their own data cables. Why on earth is this? In fact, the main reason is that the USB interface is different. "If we had a clear understanding of which USB interface our mobile phone fits into, we wouldn't have faced this problem.". What types of USB interfaces are there?

We often encounter data cables that do not match our mobile phones. Newly purchased data cables cannot charge our current mobile phones, and others cannot use their own data cables. Why on earth is this? In fact, the main reason is that the USB interface is different. "If we had a clear understanding of which USB interface our mobile phone fits into, we wouldn't have faced this problem.". What types of USB interfaces are there?
Currently, the most common interfaces are Android USB-micro, Android USB-type-c, and Apple Lightning.
1. Micro USB is mainly divided into Type A, Type B, and Type USB3.0B, of which Micro USB A is the most widely used and commonly referred to as "Android cable.".
The type-c interface is a new standard interface that has become popular in recent years. It not only enables faster transmission of natural charging data, but also provides increasingly robust performance in various aspects. In the future, more and more devices will also adopt this interface. So much so that every time Apple comes out with a new device, it's suspected that it needs to replace the type-c interface. It's extremely interesting. Currently, common electronic devices that support Type C interfaces include Nokia N1 tablet computers, LeEco phones, and Apple MacBooks. The most obvious feature of USB Type-C is its support for blind insertion on both sides. With this feature, you no longer need to worry about the wrong direction of the USB drive.
"Lightning" is an English word that means "lightning like" and "fast" in Chinese. Therefore, Lightning interface, also known as lightning interface, is a proprietary connector specification made by Apple. It first appeared at the launch of the iPhone 5 in 2012, starting with the iPhone 5. All previous generations of new iPhones and iPads have been equipped with this Lightning data interface.
Its connector pin is 8 pin. As a new Lightning interface that replaces the long-used 30 pin connector, its size is significantly reduced. There is also a change, which is that both positive and negative can be used. In other words, the Lightning data interface has been used since Apple's iPhone 5, supporting forward and reverse insertion, similar to the USB-C interface familiar to Android users. The USB Type-C interface equipped with Android phones that supports forward and reverse insertion basically began to appear in 2014 and became popular in 2015
