There are several types of USB connectors, including USB Type-A, USB Type-B, and the more recent USB Type-C. Each type has a distinct physical shape and is designed for different applications. USB Type-A is commonly found on host devices like computers, while USB Type-B is often used for peripheral devices such as printers. USB Type-C is a reversible connector that has become increasingly prevalent due to its versatility and ability to support higher data transfer speeds and power delivery.

The primary function of a USB connector is to enable communication and power transfer between devices. Data can be sent and received through the USB connection, allowing peripherals like keyboards, mice, external hard drives, and smartphones to interact with a host device. The USB standard has evolved over time, with different versions like USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and USB 4 offering progressively faster data transfer rates and increased bandwidth. The physical connector design is often adapted to accommodate these advancements. Understanding the different types of USBAliittimestä is crucial for ensuring compatibility when connecting devices.
