Differences between USB A and USB B

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard interface used for connecting electronic devices. USB interfaces come in various types, including USB Type A and Type B.

USB Type A is one of the most common USB interfaces and is typically used for connecting computers to peripheral devices. It is a rectangular interface with four pins. USB Type A interfaces are usually found on host devices such as computers, TVs, audio devices, etc.

USB Type B is also a common USB interface primarily used on peripheral devices. It has a slightly different shape compared to Type A and comes in two common variations: Standard Type B and Mini Type B (also known as Micro Type B). Standard Type B interfaces are commonly found on devices like printers, scanners, external hard drives, etc., while Mini Type B interfaces are often used for cameras, mobile hard drives, and other compact devices.

Differences:

1. Shape: USB Type A is rectangular, whereas USB Type B has a slightly different shape. There are two common shapes for Type B: Standard Type B and Mini Type B.
2.  Usage: USB Type A is typically used on host devices like computers, TVs, etc., while Type B is commonly found on peripheral devices like printers, scanners, etc.
3.  Pins: Both USB Type A and Type B have four pins, but their arrangements are different, making them incompatible for direct insertion.
4.  Compatibility: USB Type A interfaces are widely used across various devices, while Type B interfaces are more commonly found on peripheral devices. Generally, host devices provide Type A interfaces, while peripheral devices offer the corresponding Type B interfaces.
