As is well known, there are currently three main types of interfaces for mobile data cables: micro USB interface, USB type-c interface, and iOS system phone Lightning interface.

On Android flagship phones, the USB type-C interface has gradually replaced the micro USB interface. It is undeniable that micro USB is still the most widely used interface in digital products such as smartphones, power banks, speakers, Bluetooth headphones, cameras, and dash recorders.

So, do you know the wiring method for the data cable of this universal mobile phone micro USB?

A typical micro USB 2.0 cable has 4 pins, each defined as follows. Vbus and GND are used for power transmission, while Data+and Data - are used for data transmission. The maximum carrying current of the micro USB within the safe range is 2A, and the current for OPPOVOOC flash charging is 4A. Therefore, it has specially designed the micro USB line, with additional contacts used for overcurrent to ensure safety.

The Android data cable of the micro USB interface has many different specifications and materials, such as formed Android data cable, aluminum alloy braided Android data cable, zinc alloy, cloth weave, Denim and other Android data cables. These are the regular data cables of the micro USB Android data cable interface, mainly used on Android phones with micro USB interfaces.

It can be said that the vast majority of Android phones with micro USB ports on the market currently use this type of Android data cable.

Although micro USB is the most widely used interface on the market, in recent years, the USB type-C interface has gradually taken the lead due to the emergence of fast charging technology. So, what is the difference between the USB type-C interface for mobile data cables and the micro USB interface?

Let's first take a look at the biggest feature of the type-c interface, which supports double-sided insertion, regardless of pros and cons, and comprehensively solves the global problem of "USB never inserts correctly". It is designed based on the USB 3.1 standard, but not all devices using this interface connection method support the USB 3.1 standard. Its maximum charging and transmission speed has reached an astonishing 10Gb/s.

And micro USB is the next generation specification of mini USB, and the definition of the micro series includes the micro B series slot used by standard devices; The micro ab slot used by OTG devices; Micro a and micro b plugs, as well as cables. The unique feature of the micro series is that they include a stainless steel casing, making it easy to plug and unplug ten thousand times.

The interface of the micro USB is designed based on the USB 2.0 standard, supports OTG function, is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, has a plugging life and strength of up to 10000 times, and can provide charging and data transmission at the same time.

The characteristics of the micro USB interface:

1. Portable, smaller interface, and space saving;

2. It has a plugging life and strength of up to 10000 times, and a blind insertion structure design;

3. Support the current USB OTG function, which can provide both charging and data transmission.

At present, Android data cables with double-sided micro USB interfaces are starting to appear on the market. This type of data cable is an improved version of the micro USB interface data cable, which is also very convenient to use and can be plugged and unplugged on both sides without distinguishing between the front and back, just like data cables with type-c interfaces. Suitable for most Android phones with micro USB interfaces on the market.
