Why Is It Called Type-c Charger? by bestofnollywood: 11:39am On Oct 09, 2023
A “C-type charger,” also known as a USB-C charger, is named after the “Type-C” connector it uses. Here’s why it’s called a USB-C charger:

USB Standard: USB stands for “Universal Serial Bus,” and it’s a standard for connecting and transferring data and power between electronic devices. Different versions and types of USB connectors have been developed over the years.

Type-C Connector: The “C” in USB-C stands for “Type-C,” which refers to the specific shape and design of the connector. The Type-C connector has a distinctive oval shape with a symmetrical design that allows it to be plugged in either way, making it reversible.

USB Implementers Forum: USB-C was developed by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), which is a consortium of companies including Apple, Google, HP, Intel, Microsoft, and others. They standardized the USB-C connector in 2014 to address the limitations of older USB connector types (such as USB-A and USB-B).

Versatility and Improvements: USB-C offers several advantages over older USB connectors. It can deliver more power, making it suitable for charging larger devices like laptops and some electric cars. It also provides faster data transfer speeds, making it ideal for tasks like transferring large files and streaming high-definition video.

Reversible Design: One of the key features of USB-C is its reversible design, which allows users to plug it in without worrying about the orientation. This is a significant improvement over the older USB connectors that had a specific orientation for insertion...
