FTDI Type C RS232 Serial Adapter

This adapter converts a USB Type C port to a full RS232 serial interface using an FTDI chipset. It exposes TXD, RXD, CTS, RTS, DCD, DSR, DTR, RI, GND and VCC pins for complete signal access. The board suits engineers and technicians connecting legacy industrial, networking or scientific equipment to modern laptops.

Thermals noise and power draw

The device draws power directly from the USB bus and runs without active cooling. Operation is silent because no fan is present. Heat output is negligible during normal data transfer so no special thermal management is required.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the FTDI Type C RS232 Serial Adapter Plug Board to my device?

Insert the USB Type-C plug into the host port, then wire the TXD, RXD, CTS, RTS, DCD, DSR, DTR, RI, GND and VCC pins to the matching RS-232 signals on your target equipment. The step often missed is crossing TXD to the device's RXD and RXD to its TXD.

What maintenance or replacement will the FTDI Type C RS232 Serial Adapter Plug Board need over time?

The board has no moving parts or firmware that degrades, so routine maintenance is limited to keeping the USB-C connector and signal pins clean and checking that solder joints or header connections stay secure after repeated insertion cycles.
