This compact microadapter converts a USB Type-A port into a USB-C socket, letting you connect USB-C cables to older computers, laptops, and hubs that only have USB-A ports.

The adapter supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 data transfer (no USB 3.0 pins). It provides standard 5 V power at up to 1 A — note that USB-C power delivery negotiation is not supported since the host port lacks that capability.

Key Features

  • USB-A Male to USB-C Female – Plug into any USB-A port, connect a USB-C cable
  • Reversible USB-C Socket – No orientation required on the cable side
  • USB 2.0 Compatible – Supports data transfer up to 480 Mbps
  • Compact Form Factor – Minimal size, easy to carry

Ideal For

  • Connecting USB-C development boards to older computers
  • Using USB-C cables with legacy USB-A ports
  • Prototyping and bench testing with mixed USB connectors
Note: This adapter does not provide USB 3.0 speeds or USB-C power delivery negotiation. It is designed for 5 V / 1 A operation with USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices.
