What this adapter does

The Hetai Tech USB-C to USB-A Adapter 3.1 adds a standard USB-A port to devices that only have a USB-C socket. It lets you plug in flash drives, keyboards, mice, game controllers, card readers or external hard drives without extra software. The connector is a USB 3.1 Type-C male plug feeding a USB-A female port. The body is silver ABS with zinc alloy and weighs about 1 gram.

Who it suits and who it does not

This adapter works for people who need a single, portable USB-A connection on a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop such as a MacBook 2015 or 2016, a Nexus 5X or 6P, a Pixel, a Lumia 950 or 950 XL, or an LG V20, G5 or G6. It will not help buyers who need multiple USB-A ports at once, who require a Micro-USB connector instead of USB-C, or who want a device that supplies power to the host.

Installing and common issues

Installation is plug-and-play with a reversible USB-C plug, so there is no driver setup. The most common problem is that the host device must support USB On-The-Go or a similar host function; if it does not, the adapter will not recognise connected peripherals. The tiny form factor makes it easy to misplace, so keep it in a wallet or pouch when not in use.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop or phone need a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 for this adapter to work?

Yes, the adapter has a USB 3.1 Type-C male connector, so the host device must provide a USB-C port that supports that standard.

Can I still use my older USB-A flash drives and mouse with this adapter on a newer USB-C laptop?

The adapter adds a USB-A female port, letting you plug in standard USB-A peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards or mice.

How can I confirm the adapter is functioning correctly after I plug it in?

Connect a known-working USB-A device; if the host recognises it immediately with no driver install, the adapter is operating as intended.
