Figure 3-3. USB Connector Examples
Universal Serial Bus connectors are also called USB connectors. A USB connection is used as a
bus-type communications or power interface between peripheral devices. The connector pair
(Figure 3-3) features a plug (male side) coupled to its mating receptacle (female side).
Connection Instructions:
• Type ‘A’ Connections: Use the plastic tabs to guide, and then slide the plug into the
receptacle.
• Type ‘B’ Connections: The Type ‘B’ cable plug and chassis receptacle each feature a D-
shaped profile that interlock to ensure proper pin orientation and connector seating. By
design, it is impossible to incorrectly insert the plug into the receptacle. Orient the plug
to the receptacle and push in firmly.
