A USB adapter is a device that converts AC power, commonly used in homes, to USB power. The official name for USB is "Universal Serial Bus," a standard created to unify various port shapes. A USB adapter serves as an intermediary between a USB port and an electrical outlet.
USB adapters are a common sight in our daily lives, with two primary functions:
These adapters are affordable and widely available at convenience stores and electronics retailers.
Most USB adapters are AC-powered, connecting to a standard electrical outlet. They typically consist of a power outlet, USB port, casing, and an AC-DC converter. The standard outlet is a 100 VAC household type, featuring two power plugs and a hole to prevent disconnection. The common USB port is Type-A, divided internally into four conductors with two at each end for power. The casing, made from resin or other high-insulation materials, protects internal components and prevents electric shock, while the AC-DC converter transforms AC power into 5 VDC. The efficiency and capacity of this conversion depend on the converter's performance.
The unification of USB standards has enhanced compatibility and consumer convenience. However, to charge devices such as cell phones, a separate USB cable that converts USB to Micro B, Type-C, etc., is needed. USB standards have evolved with the advancement in information processing speed. The most common type is USB Type-A, used in many PCs, while Type-C has rapidly gained popularity in smartphones and high-end PCs.
The charging speed of USB adapters depends on their maximum power output. As the USB standard defines the voltage as 5 VDC, adapters with higher current capacity can enable faster charging. However, the performance of these adapters can be affected by the specifications of the USB cable used. Therefore, it's crucial to check the specifications of both the USB adapters and cables when purchasing.
USB devices are categorized as either bus-powered or self-powered. Bus-powered devices draw power from a USB port on a PC or similar device and do not require individual power sources. This setup reduces cable clutter but limits the operation of high-power-consuming USB devices. In contrast, self-powered devices require USB adapters and can operate high-power devices like external HDDs, printers, and scanners.
USB adapters generate heat during AC-DC and voltage conversion. If an adapter becomes deformed or emits a strange smell due to heat, it poses a fire hazard and should be discontinued and replaced immediately.
