2-In-1 USB 2.0 SD/TF Card Reader With Type-C And USB-A Connectors
An aluminium-alloy card reader with a USB-A plug at one end and a Type-C plug at the other, reading SD and microSD cards on a laptop or a phone without an adapter.
Product Overview
A reader with two connectors on one body solves the problem that a card reader usually creates: the customer has a laptop with USB-A, a phone with Type-C, and a reader that fits one of them. This one has a USB-A plug at one end and a Type-C plug at the other, with SD and microSD slots between them, in an aluminium alloy housing that survives being loose in a bag. It is plug and play with no driver on either end, which is what makes card-to-phone transfer practical on location.
Key Benefits
- USB-A and Type-C on one body, so it works on the laptop and on the phone with nothing added
- Aluminium alloy housing rather than moulded plastic, which is the difference after a year in a camera bag
- SD and microSD slots covering camera, drone and dashcam cards
- Plug and play with no driver on either connector
- Small enough that it stays in the bag rather than at home

Published Specification
Every row below is reproduced from the factory specification for this model. Rows shown in italics are figures the specification does not publish; we confirm those in writing rather than estimating them here.
| Interface | USB 2.0 |
| Connectors | USB-A male and Type-C male |
| Card slots | SD and microSD (TF) |
| Housing | Aluminium alloy |
| Driver | Not required; plug and play |
| Compatibility | PC, laptop, Mac, and phones and tablets that support USB OTG |
| Certification | Confirmed per order; not published on the source page |
Use Guide
- On a phone, the Type-C end needs the phone to support USB OTG; most modern Android phones and USB-C iPhones do
- USB 2.0 is the interface limit; for large video files specify the USB 3.0 reader instead
- Eject the card through the operating system before removing it
- Keep both connector ends covered when the reader is loose in a bag
Quality Control
- Both connectors function-tested on every unit
- Both card slots tested with a reference card
- Aluminium finish inspected for scratches and anodising consistency
- Insertion and retention force checked against the drawing
How It Compares With The Alternatives
A technical comparison against other ways of solving the same problem, including the other products in this range. Nothing here is a performance claim against a named competitor product.
| Against a USB-A only reader | Also works on a phone or a Type-C laptop, with no adapter |
| Against the USB 3.0 reader | Slower interface; adds the Type-C connector and the metal body |
| Against a phone-specific reader | Serves the laptop too, so the customer buys one product |
| Against a plastic-bodied equivalent | Survives bag abuse; costs more per unit |
