[0002] Type-C is a USB interface form factor standard with a smaller size than both Type-A and Type-B. It can be used as an interface type for both PCs (host devices) and external devices (slave devices, such as mobile phones). Type-C has 4 pairs of TX / RX lines, 2 pairs of USBD+ / D-, one pair of SBU, 2 CCs, and in addition, 4 VBUSs and 4 ground wires. Since 2024, Type-C will become the general standard for electronic devices in the European Union. Type-C will be used as the common port in the European Union, allowing consumers to use any Type-C charger to charge any brand of device.

[0003] It can be seen that Type-C is currently the most widely used interface. However, there are still various other interfaces on current electronic devices, such as HDMI, Type-A, Type-B, Lighting, etc. Therefore, connection devices are needed for conversion.
