This is in order to deliver faster speeds and higher power output.
Usb type c power pins.
The usb type c specification 1 0 was published by the usb implementers forum usb if and was finalized in august 2014.
The symmetrical connections.
Eight power pins.
A usb type c port.
Those are protocols defining speed and other features whereas usb type c is all about physical connection.
Usb type c is a specification for a usb connector system that is gaining popularity across smartphones and mobile devices and is capable of both power delivery and data transmission.
In july 2016 it was adopted by the iec as iec 62680 1 3.
When paired with the new power delivery pd specification type c offers enhancements to the existing usb 3 1 interconnect that lower the cost and simplify the implementation of power delivery over usb.
The usb cable provides four pathways two power conductors and two twisted signal conductors.
The 24 pin double sided connector provides four power ground pairs two differential pairs for usb 2 0 data bus though only one pair is implemented in a usb c cable four pairs for superspeed data bus only two pairs are used in usb 3 1 mode two sideband use pins v conn 5 v power for active cables and a configuration pin for cable.
Usb type c is the newly introduced and powerful interconnect standard for usb.
It is solder re flow compatible and operates across 40 to 80 c.
The data is transferred through the d and d connectors while vbus and gnd connectors provide power to the usb device.
The usb device that uses full speed bandwidth devices must have a twisted pair d and d conductors.
