USB Type C Female to USB-A Male Adapter

This compact adapter converts a standard USB-A port into a USB-C female receptacle, letting you use USB-C cables and accessories with older laptops, chargers, hubs, or power banks. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbps and charging up to 5V/2A. An aluminum alloy housing aids heat dissipation during daily use.

Users adding USB-C convenience to legacy USB-A gear

The adapter suits anyone who wants to keep existing USB-A chargers or ports working with newer USB-C phones, tablets, earphones, or flash drives. It is not for buyers who need video output, high-power fast-charging protocols, or data speeds beyond USB 2.0. It also cannot drive a dock's main USB-C host connection.

USB 2.0 specification limits speed and power

The single deciding specification is the USB 2.0 interface, which caps data at 480 Mbps and charging at 5V/2A. This makes the adapter appropriate for everyday syncing and standard charging, but insufficient for high-bandwidth peripherals or rapid charging scenarios.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 10.0 in x 1.0 in x 5.0 in adapter need beside a USB-A port?

The low-profile aluminum alloy housing sits close to the USB-A port so it can stay plugged into a laptop, charger, or hub without getting in the way.

Which way round do the connectors go when installing the USB-C female to USB-A male adapter?

Plug the USB-A male end into the host USB-A port, then connect your USB-C cable or device into the USB-C female receptacle.

Will the aluminum alloy housing need any upkeep to keep heat dissipation working?

The aluminum alloy shell helps with heat dissipation during use and requires no maintenance to maintain its thermal performance.
