These adapters look and feel very sturdy, and are very useful for charging items with newer cables. They are a snug fit in all the USB-A slots I’ve tried them in, and the USB-C cables I’ve put into them have also all been quite secure.
My laptop doesn’t have a USB-C slot, so if I only have a C to C cable I can’t connect my phone to it.
I have lots of USB plugs that are USB-A and also a wall socket that includes USB-A sockets, but as more and more cables become C to C this meant I was potentially facing spending quite a bit of money to replace them – and for a while would need both as I still have devices that need a USB-A to Micro or Mini USB.
A much better solution is these adapters. Nowhere near as big an outlay, I’m not having to find space for additional plugs, and I’m not throwing away things that still work meaning they’re more friendly to the environment.
The only thing I’ve not managed to do with them in place is transfer data to/from my phone! But I don’t know if this is a problem with the adapters or a problem with the cables (which also claim to support data transfer). I’m trying to find a friend with a laptop that has a USB-C connector, as I can then try the cables in that – and I should then be able to figure out which isn’t working properly.
When I manage to do that I will come back and update this review.
14th Jan 2014 – Update
I put the adapter into my laptop, and then connected a memory card reader to it. I was able to transfer pictures on the memory card onto my laptop, so I’m happy that these support data transfer.
However, when putting everything away, instead of managing to take the adapter off the card reader I actually managed to take the external black sleeve off the adapter! I’ve checked the others and they seem to be sound, but I need to find a way to secure the one back on. It doesn’t stop it from working, but it’s not as nice to handle without it!
These USB-C to USB-A adapters are very practical, allowing me to connect devices with the new standard USB-C to my old devices with USB-A. However, please be aware that these adapters provide a data transmission speed up to 480Mbps, that is only USB 2.0. Their bodies are made of an aluminum-alloy and their connectors are made of nickel. They seem well-made and resistant. They are compact and easy to carry around, solving any potential issue on compatibility between your devices. They are plug and play. No need for other drivers/software.
With the proliferation of USB-C, thankfully, as it’s the best of all the mini connectors, but still a lot of older devices having USB-A ports, like standard desktop PC’s or charging plugs, i have often found a need for these little converters.
These seem very nicely made, and for their size, have a bit of weight to them and feel solid. Plugging in on either A or C also felt very positive. The price is really good as well. Recommended.
I have a couple of devices that don’t have a USB-C port and these little things worked a treat, also being so compact I can leave them in, so no need to find them as they will always be there.
One of the tops did fall off, the other one is quite study and I gave the top a very strong tug.
The one with the top that came off still works fine, if anything it’s even more compact and less noticeable on my devices.
Even with the top that came off, they did what I wanted so I’m happy with them.
To be honest there isn’t all that much for me to say about these connectors other than that they work, they offer a good connection when a USB to MicroUSB adapter is needed.
I chose to obtain a grey version of the adapter rather than black, that’s partly because so many cables are white now and aesthetically I find that more pleasing than black but that’s just a personal thing.
The price is perfectly acceptable and for me, the connectors work well so I do recommend them if you are looking for this type of product.
These tiny USB-A to USB-C adapters stand out from the crowd. Compact, rugged, absolutely no physical weaknesses, plug it in and just results that won’t let you down!
I appreciate gold plating for improving signal and reducing corrosion. When it comes to signal that is where the value in gold out performs nickel plating.
The description however is misleading. In the product image it is said to use gold plating. In the About this item section it clearly confirms nickel plating which is in my experience not nearly as resistant.
If you have old electronics from decades gone by that used nickel you may find that the corrosion rendered these items useless in the future unless gold plating was used they should still be in good working condition.
Otherwise a very nice product but quantity discounts are odd? Just buy four it’s a good deal. Enjoy!
This is a pair of very small USB C to A adaptors. They are going straight into my travel bag for use wherever I need a charge using my USB C-only leads but where the charge point only has USB A sockets. This seems very common – planes, trains, hotels etc. seem often only to offer USB A charge points. However I’m finding that devices purchased over the last couple of years often only supply USB C to C leads. So that’s where these adapters come in useful – they save you from having to carry two different leads around.
They work exactly as you would expect. but I noted that the USB A plug was not a particularly tight fit (the USB C socket was fine). It was OK, but it was a little too easy to dislodge it slightly from a wall point if knocked. So I’ll be double-checking to ensure the charge light on my devices is lit up and that the wires can’t be easily knocked so as to cause an accidental unplugging.
