USB-A Female To USB-C Male OTG Adapter
A small aluminium OTG adapter that turns a USB-C phone or laptop port into a USB-A socket, for flash drives, keyboards, card readers and mice. Published in several anodised colours.
Product Overview
The smallest product in the range and one of the most useful: a USB-A socket on one end, a USB-C plug on the other, so a phone or a modern laptop can accept the USB-A devices the world is still full of. It handles data transfer and charging, and the anodised aluminium body is published in several colours, which makes it viable as a branded giveaway as well as a retail line. Retail blister and poly bag packing are both available.
Key Benefits
- Turns a USB-C port into a USB-A socket, which is what makes a phone useful with a flash drive
- Anodised aluminium body in several published colours, unusual at this size and price
- Handles data transfer and charging rather than data only
- Small enough to live on a keyring or in a laptop sleeve
- Available in retail blister or poly bag packing

Use Guide

- High-draw USB-A devices may need their own power, because the phone supplies limited current
- Choose blister packing for retail shelves and poly bag for bundles and giveaways
- Specify the colour split at the quotation stage
Quality Control
- Every unit function-tested with a reference flash drive
- Anodised colour checked against the approved sample
- Connector retention force checked

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 an OTG cable | Far smaller and harder to lose; a cable is easier when the port is recessed |
| Against a USB-C hub | A fraction of the cost for the one function most people actually need |
| Against a plastic adapter | Metal body survives keyring use; higher unit cost |
| Against a card reader | Accepts any USB-A device rather than only memory cards |
