USB 3.1 Type-C to USB-A adapter

This silver adapter converts a USB 3.1 Type-C male plug into a standard USB-A female port. It is built for users who need to connect flash drives, keyboards, mice, card readers or printers to modern laptops, tablets or smartphones that only offer a USB-C socket. The compact ABS and zinc alloy housing weighs about 1g and fits easily in a wallet or bag. No drivers or software are required; the device works immediately on connection.

Suited for USB-C hosts needing legacy USB-A ports

The adapter targets owners of USB-C equipped laptops such as MacBook 2015 and 2016 models, plus phones and tablets including Google Nexus 5X, 6P, Pixel, Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, 950, LG V20, G5, G6 and similar devices that support USB host function. Buyers whose USB-C device does not implement OTG or host mode will find the adapter non-functional. It is not for users who require a Micro-USB male connector or who need to plug a USB-C peripheral into a USB-A host.

Plug-and-play installation with host-support caveat

Installation is straightforward: insert the Type-C male end into the host device and plug the USB-A peripheral into the female port. The reversible USB-C plug removes orientation issues. The most common problem is purchasing the adapter for a phone or tablet that lacks USB host/OTG support, in which case connected peripherals will not be recognised. Verifying host capability before purchase avoids this issue.
