USB-C to USB-A adapter for legacy peripherals

This Tripp Lite U428-000-F adapter connects a USB Type-A device to a USB-C port. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data rates up to 5 Gbps and delivers up to 3 A of power for fast charging mobile devices. The reversible USB-C plug removes orientation hassles. It suits users adding older flash drives, keyboards or mice to newer laptops and tablets.

Passive design runs cool and silent

With no active components the adapter generates negligible heat and produces zero audible noise during operation. Power draw matches the attached device up to the 3 A limit, so it adds no measurable load to the host port. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ensures older peripherals function without extra configuration.

Molded nickel-plated shell with gold contacts

The one-piece molded housing protects the internal wiring from strain while nickel plating resists corrosion. Gold-plated contacts maintain low-resistance signal paths over repeated insertions. RoHS compliance confirms the materials meet restricted-substance standards. A lifetime limited warranty backs the build quality.

Questions about this item

How do I plug this USB-C to USB-A adapter in, and which way does the reversible plug go?

Insert the USB-C male end into your host port either way up — it is reversible — then connect your USB-A device into the female port; the nickel-plated shell and gold contacts ensure a solid seat.

Will the gold-plated contacts or nickel-plated shell need cleaning or replacement over time?

The molded construction and corrosion-resistant platings are maintenance-free; no cleaning schedule or contact replacement is required for the lifetime of the adapter.

At what point does the 5 Gbps transfer rate or 3 A power limit become the bottleneck during heavy use?

Sustained transfers will hit the 5 Gbps ceiling first, while charging current caps at 3 A; both limits are set by the USB 3.1 Gen 1 specification.
