Adafruit USB A Plug to USB C Jack Microadapter

As technology changes and adapts, so does Adafruit. Equipped with a USB A jack, this microadapter can be plugged into older computers with A ports, enhancing them with USB C compatibility. It allows your device to access modern USB Type C functionality, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power.

USB C is similar to Lightning and MagSafe cables with its reversible plug orientation, eliminating the common hassle of inserting USB A incorrectly on the first try. This adapter is specifically designed for use with any device featuring a USB A socket, enabling the attachment of a USB C cable.

Affordable and efficient, this adapter omits USB 3 pins, tailored for boards not requiring 3.0 speeds, excelling with USB 1 or 2. It doesn't convert USB 2.x speeds to USB C speeds or allow for advanced power negotiation. Ideal for devices using 5V and up to 1A, it serves as a practical bridge between generations of technology.
