Is micro USB about to be eliminated?

    Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, China's electronic consumer market Progress of Growing and emerging typec The connector mother base interface is bred and continues to gain a firm foothold in the connector market. This is mainly due to the strong promotion of mobile device manufacturers, which has driven the enthusiastic pursuit of a wide range of third-party parts manufacturers.

    At present, Huawei, glory, Xiaomi,OPPO/VIVO , Meizu, Yijia and other high-end models of many brands are almost all adopted typec Connector interface. Previous generation mobile main interface microusb The mother seat is gradually eliminated in the assembly design of emerging mobile devices. With it microusb Similar to the parent seat,typec The female connector also has a wide variety of solder board specifications, such as front plug and back paste, four pin plug plate, immersion plug plate and reverse sink plate,SMT/Pasted plate and other dimensions and specifications（ eg.6p,8p,14p,16p,24p...),Even though the shape specifications vary, the conduction structure of the male and female interface is similar,typec Male female mating structure and method of connector microusb The structure of the connector is the same, and the shrapnel end of the connecting pin is typec On the male head,typec The pins on the glue tongue of the mother seat are actually several on both sides pin The "high conductivity copper sheet", the real spring needle is in typec Inside the male head, and due to typec The shrapnel structure inside the male head makes its products pin The needle cannot be designed as a built-in structure.

    Type-C connector Advantages of plug-in with male head:

    1. The pros and cons are optional. When using the type C male connector, we can find that it can be inserted either directly or reversely. In this way, it can also be inserted blindly in case of poor light. There is no need to tangle its pros and cons like the micro USB interface. No hesitation is one of its biggest advantages.

    2. The frequency becomes higher and the type C connector interface is replaced, which greatly improves both the charging speed and the transmission speed. Not only does the battery capacity become larger and larger, and the fast charge and flash charge function become more and more powerful, but also type C performs much better in data transmission, improves the speed a lot, and is compatible with many USB sockets.

    3. Two way charging. This function may be rarely involved in daily life, but it is indeed a highlight. The type C connector can support two-way charging, which can not only charge mobile phones, but also other devices. Take the notebook as an example. It can not only charge the mobile device, but also charge the notebook with other devices.

    4. It has strong expansibility. One type C interface can be used as several. It can not only charge, but also transmit data. For example, all kinds of interfaces can be replaced by one type C, with "ten" at the top of one line, which is fast and convenient.

    More news from analog IC suppliers, apple is redesigning the charger and next-generation related interfaces, and the iPhone and iPad will support it USB Type-C (Jane)Usb-c). It can be seen that in the future, type-C is likely to replace the traditional microsb and become the standard configuration for the assembly of the next generation of mobile devices.
