Tripp Lite U452-000-SD-A 2-in-1 SD Micro SD card reader USB-A USB-C

Dual connector card reader

The Tripp Lite U452-000-SD-A is a 2-in-1 memory card reader built for photographers and mobile workers who need to offload images from SD and Micro SD cards. It connects through either a USB-A or USB-C male plug, so it works with laptops, desktops, phones and tablets that have either port style. The reader draws power from the host device and requires no external adapter. It suits anyone who moves between older and newer machines during a shoot or workday.

Plug-and-play versatility

Both connectors are built into the same compact black housing, eliminating the need for separate dongles or cables. The USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface delivers data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps for fast file sharing when the host port supports that rate. It accepts current SDXC and SDHC formats alongside Micro SD variants, so recent high-capacity cards are supported. No driver installation is required on supported operating systems; the device is ready as soon as it is inserted.

Check your ports and cards

Before ordering, confirm that the device you plan to use has a USB-A, USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port available for the reader’s male plugs. Verify that your memory cards are SD or Micro SD types; other formats such as CompactFlash or CFexpress are not compatible. The reader’s transfer speed will match the slowest link in the chain, so performance depends on both the card’s rating and the host port’s capability.
