USB-C to USB-A adapter 4-pack

This four-pack of HOWJIM A172 adapters converts a USB-C female port to a USB 3.0 male plug for charging and data. It suits users who need to connect USB-C phones, tablets, drives or headphones to legacy USB-A ports on laptops, chargers or hubs.

Driver-free installation with signal caveats

The adapters work plug-and-play on Windows 10, 11 and macOS without drivers. Installing is as simple as inserting the USB-A end into the host port. Connecting a USB-C hub may cause signal loss and MagSafe charging is not supported, so avoid those configurations.

Sustained 5 Gbps transfer and multi-voltage charging

Under continuous use the adapter maintains up to 5 Gbps data rates and supports standard 5 V/2.1 A charging plus 9 V/2.4 A, 15 V/3 A and 20 V/3 A fast-charge profiles. A built-in 56 kΩ resistor helps keep power delivery stable during extended sessions.
