Main Features of Mini USB
The mini USB was first introduced in the early 2000s. It’s a five-pin version of the original USB type A connector introduced in 1996; however, the mini USB is much smaller and features crimped sides that give it a trapezoidal.
Mini USB revolutionized the design of digital devices as they not only allowed data transfer between devices, but they also allowed users to charge their devices using the same port. They also offer a data transfer speed of up to 480 Mbps and power transfer capabilities of up to 0.5A. In addition, mini USB connectors typically have about 5,000 connect-disconnect cycles, which means they can be plugged in and removed 5,000 times before they wear out.
Although the mini USB connector is becoming obsolete, it can still be found in removable storage devices, digital cameras, and some mobile phones today.
Mini USB is divided into A-type, B-type, and AB-type. Mini B-type 5 Pin is the most common type of interface. This type of interface is superior in anti-missing performance and size, so it is winning a lot. Venders favor card readers with this interface. This preference also applies to MP3 players, digital cameras, and mobile hard drives.
The mini USB cable is made of coaxial cable which transfers data and power between two devices. While one end of the mini USB cable is a standard flat-head USB hub, the other end is a much smaller quadrilateral hub suitable for mobile devices.
The mini USB cable is most commonly used to charge mobile devices, but can also be used to transfer data between computers with at least one USB port.
In addition, some mini USB cables are designed to be used only with certain brands of mobile devices which can limit charging or transferring data from a computer or standalone charger by including additional internal pins that run unnecessary voltages.
Mini USB has something different from the traditional USB. Here this part tells you several features of mini USB. They are listed below:
1. Mini USB has a compact size of roughly 3 x 7 mm, which makes it very easy to carry. You can carry it in a pocket or even in a wallet.
2. A reliable and robust design can provide a stable connection, even after thousands of insertions
3. The integration of power and data transportation in one connector can provide cost savings
4. The characteristic of a Mini USB connector is the five-pin configuration. Although smaller than USB-B, it is slightly larger than Micro USB. The connector cannot be inserted in reverse; there is a specific way to connect it.
5. The advantage of mini USB is that it is sealed and can be effectively waterproof and dustproof.
6. One of the advantages of mini USB is portable because mini USB can be placed in a pocket or even a wallet.
