Pinout of USB connectors for charging phones. Choosing a convenient USB charger for several gadgets.

And laptops have entered our life relatively recently, but along with mobile phones have firmly taken their place there. And now all of humanity cannot imagine its life without computer technology and the Internet. People communicate in in social networks, share information, learn last news, study and work through the Internet.

New development

Relatively recently, namely in 2010, a new device appeared on the computer market - tablet PC, or just a tablet. It very quickly became widespread among users due to its compactness, as well as lower cost compared to laptops and stationary computers. It is very convenient to watch videos, listen to music, read books on the tablet. in electronic format, To communicate in social networks. But working on it, writing texts is difficult and inconvenient due to the lack of a keyboard and mouse. The advantage of a tablet is also lower power consumption compared to a laptop. But still it has to be charged. There are no problems when there is charger, and if it is absent, then the question arises of how to charge the tablet without charging?

How to charge?

You can use a USB cable. Well, how to charge a tablet via USB, every user of various gadgets probably knows. It is enough to have this cable with the appropriate connector and a stationary computer at hand. It should be noted that charging a tablet via USB is much slower than through an outlet, since the voltage and maximum charging current in the computer are much lower. The tablet can also be charged in this way from a laptop. Charging from a laptop follows the same principle.

Charging rules

It used to be thought that for the device to work properly, it was necessary to completely discharge the battery before the first charge. Currently, tablets are equipped with a new type. And before using the tablet for the first time, you must fully charge it. In order for the tablet battery to last longer, it needs to be recharged more often and not to be completely discharged. The method described above for charging the tablet from a computer is also suitable for recharging the battery. But there are times when there is no USB cable either. And again the problem arises of how to charge the tablet without charging. In this case, you can use a cigarette lighter. Here you will need a car. On the one hand, such a device has a connector adapted to the car's cigarette lighter, on the other - USB. You can buy it at any electronics store. Before charging in this way, first of all, make sure that it is sufficient. Then connect the cable to the tablet computer and to the car. This method is only suitable for recharging

Mister Samodelkin

There are a lot of tips on how to charge your tablet without charging. Some users offer the following option: in case there is no standard or car charger and there is no USB cable, you need to take any old charger that has been idle for a long time, and no one remembers what device it is intended for. Usually every owner of modern mobile phones there are several such houses. You need to cut off the connector for connecting to the phone - you will not need it, then strip the wires, removing the insulation from them. Two wires will appear - blue and red. Then you need to remove the battery from the tablet, find the plus and minus on it. Then connect the wires: the blue wire will go to plus, red to minus, fix this structure with insulating tape or tape. Connect to an outlet, and that's it - charging is done. At the same time, you need to be careful not to get this method, although it is not very reliable in its design, but compared to how to charge the tablet via USB, it is faster, because the current in the outlet is more powerful and, therefore, the gadget will charge much faster. But this method is best used only in case of emergency. And in order to avoid such problems in the future at the most inopportune moment, it is better to purchase a spare battery and carry it with you.

A large number of options

There are chargers that allow you to charge your tablet computer from AA (finger-type) batteries via a USB cable. Radio amateurs can make such a device on their own, especially since everything you need can be purchased at a radio store.

If the "native" charger breaks down or is simply lost, and it is impossible to buy the same one, you need to purchase a similar one. There are several rules to follow when purchasing it. First, you should know such characteristics of current consumption as voltage and amperage. You can see them in the instructions or on the battery itself. Secondly, it is necessary to strictly observe the main rule - the voltage should not exceed 10 percent of the recommended indicator, and the current strength should be higher, but not more than 3-4 times. Otherwise, charging with a device that does not meet these requirements will damage the battery or the tablet itself.

How to extend the life of a tablet?

Some users believe that charging time depends on operating system, on which this or that tablet works, but this is not at all the case. It all depends on the manufacturer of the gadget. So, for example, manufactures are the least capricious to charging conditions, and therefore problems with them when using different ways less charging occurs.

To prolong the life of the tablet battery, you must constantly monitor its charge level and do not allow it to completely discharge. It is not recommended to leave the tablet turned on during the process.

Thus, when answering the question of how to charge a tablet without charging, many answers arise. All presented methods are simple, affordable and safe, provided that simple rules are followed. But it is still recommended to use the charger that comes with the tablet and meets all its requirements. This will prolong life. battery the tablet itself.

During my last trip to St. Petersburg, I ran into a real problem of lack of sockets in the mini hotel room. It would seem that something that I had never even thought about before has turned into a rather serious problem. Judge for yourself. There were only four sockets in the room, two of them were plugged into a TV and refrigerator. There were three of us. Only one of us took one smartphone with him. The second had a smartphone and a tablet, and in addition to a smartphone and a tablet, I also had a DSLR, a universal battery and a selfie stick. In total, we had eight devices for three, five of which needed to be recharged every day. And we had only two free sockets for all these devices.

At that time, our problem was helped by a girl-administrator of the hotel, who offered us her power strip for five outlets, but this whole story made me think that when going on vacation, we think about how to extend the time autonomous work of our electronic devices, but we completely ignore a much more serious problem, because of which we risk being left without gadgets altogether.

Looking at this power strip with charging of different sizes, shapes and colors sticking out in all directions, I thought: why fence this whole pyramid with always tangled wires, when all this can be replaced by a much more compact and ergonomic power supply charger with several USB ports. Such a device will be relevant not only while traveling, but also at home, where we are no less tired of network extension cords sticking out from all sides. All that remained was to decide what to buy?

The first pancake is lumpy ...

After digging around on Ali Express, I identified two types of chargers for myself, which were supposed to solve the problem. The first type is a small USB network hub with multiple USB ports. They are compact enough to be equipped with a plug and plug directly into an outlet, or they can use a power cable to connect. These adapters can be used both at home and when traveling.

The second type includes extension cords, in which conventional sockets are combined with USB ports. These devices are more suitable for home use. They are interesting in the ability to connect as mobile devices to USB ports, and any other devices, for example, laptop, scanner, printer, desk lamp, etc.

In theory, everything seems simple and straightforward, but in practice everything turned out to be somewhat more complicated. I found two things that led me to abandon these devices. First, the devices that can be ordered on Ali come with Asian or universal plugs and sockets. I do not like this. More precisely, if I can somehow come to terms with universal sockets, the Asian plug does not inspire confidence in me. The second problem is the limited set of USB ports in Type II devices. These are usually two ports. For me, the number of conventional sockets is not so important, but the number of USB ports should be sufficient so that I can connect all my gadgets without restriction. Otherwise, the original idea loses its meaning.

USB Network Hub ...

DF presented both types of chargers. PORT-CHARGER-01, 02 and 04 series devices are of the first type. In essence, these devices are a USB hub to which you can connect from four to six external devices. At the time of this review, three models of this series are available, differing not only in the number of ports and sizes, but also in maximum power.

The younger model DF PORT-CHARGER-01 is optimal for everyone who is not spoiled by a large number of gadgets. It is equipped with four USB ports and has a maximum power of 30W.

Despite the fact that the DF PORT-CHARGER-01 is the youngest model, it turned out to be the largest in the series. Its dimensions are 92 x 92 x35 mm. In this case, the weight of the device is only 240 grams.

The DF PORT-CHARGER-01 case is made of high quality ABS plastic. The build quality does not make me remark. There are four USB ports on the front side of the case. Two of them support a maximum charging current of 2.1A, while the other two support 1A. There is also a blue light LED.

The back of the case has a connector for connecting network cableincluded in the kit, and at the base there are four rubber feet, which exclude the appearance of scratches, both on the furniture and on the body of the device itself.

In general, the laconic design of the device seemed to me quite practical. Black, matte body, fits perfectly into any interior, compact size allows you to place the device near a bedside table or on a desktop. I would also like to draw your attention to the large distance between USB ports, which eliminates any problems with connecting multiple devices. The only drawback is the high brightness of the blue LED, but on the other hand, it makes it easier to connect external devices in complete darkness.

It's time to test the capabilities of DF PORT-CHARGER-01. To do this, I will use a special tester and resistance, which allows you to create a load equivalent to devices with a charging current of 1A and 2A.

First, let's test the capabilities of each port separately. In principle, the circuitry solution of the splitter allows you to get a charging current of 2A on each port, however, this does not mean that you can connect four devices with a charging current of 2A to the device. To exclude the operation of overload protection, I recommend that you strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations and connect a combination of two devices with a charging current of 1A and two with a current of 2.1A to the DF PORT-CHARGER-01.

With no load, we see 5.21V at each splitter output. When only one load of 1A is connected, the voltage is reduced to a value of 5.11-5.14V. When the load increases to 2A, the voltage drops to 5.03-5.06V. During the tests, I noticed that on the first port the voltage under load is always slightly lower than the voltage on the other ports. This does not in any way affect the possibilities using USB splitter. Even when using two devices with a charging current of 2A and one with a current of 1A, the voltage at the outputs does not fall below 5.03V. These are very good values, noticeably higher than the minimum voltages inherent in cheap chargers. It guarantees high quality and the charging efficiency of mobile devices from different manufacturers. In addition to this, I would like to point out that this model supports the basic protection mechanisms against overload, overvoltage and overheating. And to ensure more efficient power consumption, DF PORT-CHARGER-01 supports automatic shutdown when charging is complete. True, this only works with devices that disconnect from the network when the battery is fully charged.

The second model DF PORT-CHARGER-02 is equipped with five USB ports and has a maximum power of 40W. Surprisingly, despite the larger number of ports and increased power, this USB hub is slightly smaller and lighter. Its dimensions are 98 x 70 x 28 mm. At the same time, its weight remained unchanged - 240 g.

The body of this model is also made of durable ABS plastic. Its black, laconic design, with slightly rounded edges, turned out to be as practical as the DF PORT-CHARGER-01 case. There are 5 USB ports on its side. Two of them have an output current of 2.4A, and three have an output current of 1A. On the opposite side there is a connector for a network cable. The power indicator for this model is located on the top side of the case. Here the developers used a point source of blue light.

During the tests, I noted that without load on each port, we get a standard 5.21V. When connecting one load with a current of 1A, the voltage decreases to 5.03-5.06V. A load of 2A leads to an even more noticeable decrease in voltage to 4.96-4.98V. This is a normal value for efficient and fast charging of external devices. Note that DF PORT-CHARGER-02 keeps this voltage stably even when five devices are connected.

In order to avoid triggering the protection system, when filling all five USB ports, I recommend that you strictly observe the load distribution suggested by the manufacturer. By the way, like the previous model, DF PORT-CHARGER-02 has overload, overheat and voltage drop protection. And the ability to automatically turn off when fully charged, allows you to more efficiently use electricity.

And, finally, the third model, called DF PORT-CHARGER-04, will be of interest to everyone who has a number of gadgets that exceeds all reasonable quantities. This is the most powerful model. It is equipped with six USB ports and has a power of 50W. But, despite this, in terms of dimensions, it practically does not differ from the previous model. It measures 100 x 69 x 28 mm and weighs 265 g.

Structurally, the "charging" DF PORT-CHARGER-04 is similar to the other two models, but has its own individual traits... There are six USB ports on the front edge. Three of them have an output current of 2.4A. The other three ports are 1A. On the opposite side there is a connector for connecting a network cable.

In tests, this model has shown results similar to the “five-port” model DF PORT-CHARGER-02. When idle, it delivers a standard 5.21V per port. Under a load of 1A, the voltage drops to 5.03-5.06V. An increase in the load to 2A leads to a voltage drop to 4.94-4.98V. This is the optimal value for ensuring high speed charging of external devices. However, as in the other two models, I recommend that you strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations and simultaneously connect only three devices with a current of 2A and three with a current of 1A.

The use of a large number of USB ports, high power and compact size make this model the most convenient on vacation, especially if you are eating with a small company, where everyone should freely charge their gadgets, regardless of the number of free sockets in the hotel room.

Power strip ...

The model, called DF PORT-CHARGER-03, is a very convenient power strip. Like USB hubs, it comes in a beautiful black case and has a rather unusual design.

DF PORT-CHARGER-03 is equipped with two euro sockets with grounding and shutters, and also has 5 USB ports. Two of them issue 2.4A, and three - 1A. The total power of the connected devices should not exceed 2.5 kW. Each electrical outlet can be connected to a load with a current of no more than 10A. The materials used and the diameter of the conductors can easily withstand such a load. This means that you can use the device as an ordinary power strip to which you can connect not only electronic devices, but also almost any household appliances, including a refrigerator, kettle and even an iron. For ease of use, this model is equipped with a general switch and a faint blue backlighting of the USB ports.

The DF PORT-CHARGER-03 design seemed very convenient to me. The location of the sockets allows you to freely connect two devices. These can be both ordinary electrical plugs and chargers. At the same time, a sufficiently large distance between the outlets eliminates any problems. The USB ports are located above electrical outlets. This made it more convenient to connect USB cables without interfering with electrical outlets. DF PORT-CHARGER-03 supports protection against overload, power surges and overheating. In addition, the built-in USB hub supports automatic power off technology when external devices are fully charged.

A well thought-out network extension cable design and a large number of USB ports are certainly important, but I wanted to understand how effective the built-in USB hub is. In theory, it should be similar to the DF PORT-CHARGER-02 and 04 models, but in practice it turned out to be identical to the DF PORT-CHARGER-01 model, which provides a slightly more stable voltage to the USB output even at maximum load.

So, without load, the voltage at the USB outputs is 5.21V. When a 1A load is connected, the voltage drops to 5.15-5.17V. An increase in the load to 2A leads to a voltage drop to 5.05-5.07V. This makes the DF PORT-CHARGER-03 the most efficient charger, providing faster and more accurate charging of mobile devices.

Fast charging ...

You have probably already noticed that three models out of four support 2.4A output current. This suggests that these “chargers” support the Quick Charge 2.0 fast charging technology introduced by Qualcomm in some Snapdragon processor models. This technology allows mobile devices to be charged up to 75% faster than conventional chargers with an output current of 2.1A. As of today, Quick Charge 2.0 is supported on the Nexus 6. Samsung Galaxy Note Edge and Note 4, smartphones and tablets Sony Xperia Z3 and Z2 Tablet, as well as HTC Desire EYE, One remix and Htc one (M8), Motorola Moto X and DROID Turbo.

Conclusion

After testing the new DF PORT-CHARGER chargers, I came to the conclusion that I needed at least one of each type. DF PORT-CHARGER-03, which combines two regular sockets and five USB ports, will replace the power strip near the bedside table. I will connect a laptop charger and a night light to two ordinary sockets. I will use USB ports for daily charging of a smartphone and tablet, one universal battery and a couple of other gadgets. Today DF PORT-CHARGER-03 will cost 2500 rubles. In my opinion, the price is more than affordable, especially in comparison with power strips with Asian sockets and plugs and two USB ports.

As for the first type of USB hubs, I will use one of these devices in the kitchen. There is always not enough power outlet to charge the iPAD, which is used as a TV. In addition, I will take it with me on trips. This is really very convenient and will avoid the problem that I talked about at the beginning of the article. Most likely, I'll keep the “six-port” model DF PORT-CHARGER-04. The more ports the better. Moreover, this model, however, like DF PORT-CHARGER-02 and 03, supports Quick Charge 2.0 fast charging technology. My current smartphone and tablet models do not support this technology, but maybe in the future I will update them so that I will not have to change my chargers. I will be able to take advantage of fast charging. As for the price, today you will have to pay only 1999 rubles for the DF PORT-CHARGER-04 model. For comparison, the DF PORT-CHARGER-01 and 02 models will cost 1,500 and 1,799 rubles, respectively.

In conclusion, I would like to say a few words about the shortcomings. More precisely, about their absence. I expected the powerful models to have a subtle but very unpleasant buzz under full load. But, even with a very hard load, none of the models made a sound. So they can be recommended for use in the bedroom or children's room, where not only a neat and safe design is of great importance, but also the support of numerous protection systems, eliminating any problems.

Most modern gadgets (mobile phones, smartphones, music players, electric books, tablets, etc.) support charging via the USB mini / micro socket. There may be several connection options:

The device can be charged from a PC via a standard data cable. Usually this is the USB_AM-USB_BM_mini / micro cable. If charging the device requires a current of more than 0.5 A (this is the maximum that USB 2.0 is capable of), then the charging time can be painfully long, up to infinity. The USB 3.0 port (such a blue one) already gives out 0.9 A, but this may not seem enough to someone.

Through the same data cable, your device can be charged from a native charger (mains or car) equipped with a 4-pin USB-AF socket, just like on a computer. Of course, this is no longer a real USB port. The charger socket only outputs about 5V between pins 1 and 4 of the 4-pin socket (plus on pin # 1, minus on pin # 4). Well, all sorts of jumpers and resistors can be installed between different contacts of the socket. What for? This witchcraft will be discussed below.

The gadget can be connected to a third-party or homemade charger that supplies 5 volts. And this is where the fun begins ...

When you try to charge from someone else's USB charger, your gadget may refuse to charge under the pretext that the charger does not suit it. The key is that many phones / smartphones "look" how the Data + and Data- wires are disconnected, and if the gadget doesn't like something, this memory will be rejected.

Nokia, Philips, LG, Samsung, HTC and many other phones will only recognize the charger if the Data + and Data- (2nd and 3rd) pins are shorted. You can short-circuit them in the USB_AF socket of the charger and easily charge your phone via a standard data cable.

If the charger already has an output cord (instead of an output jack), and you need to solder a mini / micro USB plug to it, then do not forget to connect 2 and 3 contacts in the mini / micro USB itself. In this case, you solder plus to 1 contact, and minus to the 5th (last).

The tech world has finally rallied around a single charging standard after years of proprietary adapters and power supplies. We already see some hints of a new USB-C connector, which should replace the existing USB, as well as USB Micro-B, which Samsung once implemented in galaxy line... But before that, without taking into account Apple Lightning, the connector Micro USB destroyed the industry's penchant for individual ports.

A decade ago, you had to make sure you have the right charger for every device. Today, you can charge your phone while visiting a friend, connect to any computer and download photos from your digital camera directly to your TV with a single wire. But another problem arises - the power of USB. Not all USB chargers, connectors, and cables are created equal. You've probably noticed that some USB connectors are more powerful than others. On some desktops, even when they are turned on, you can safely charge your smartphone via USB in a fairly short time.

There are now four types of USB - USB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1, not counting the new USB-C connector. In addition, for most USB networks, there are two kinds of devices - the host and the peripheral. In most cases, the PC is the host, and the smartphone, tablet, or camera is the device. Energy always flows from the host to the device, but data can flow in both directions.
And now the numbers - the USB connector has four pins and the USB cable has four wires. Internal data transfer pins (D + and D-) and external pins provide 5V power. In terms of actual current parameters (milliamperes or mA), there are three kinds of USB ports - standard output port, charging output port, and dedicated charging port. The first two can be found on computers, while the third is found in wall chargers.
In USB 1.0 and 2.0, the standard output port can deliver up to 500 mA (0.5 A), in USB 3.0, the value rises to 900 mA (0.9 A). The charging output port and dedicated charging port provide up to 1500mA (1.5A). USB 3.1 can have up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth in SuperSpeed \u200b\u200bmode, which is roughly equivalent to the first generation Thunderbolt. It also supports 1.5A and 3A amperage.
The USB-C connector will be completely different. First, it is versatile. Second, it provides twice the bandwidth of USB 3.0 and can output more power. Apple used USB-C in its new MacBook, as did Google in its latest Chromebook Pixel. But there are also older connectors that support the 3.1 standard.
USB has the ability to charge in sleep mode when the ports remain active when the computer is turned off. But in addition to stationary PCs, some laptops are also capable of this.

There are many variations between regular 500mA USB ports and dedicated charging connectors that range up to 3000mA. This leads to a rather important question: if you take a smartphone that comes with a 900mA wall charger and plug it in via a 2100mA iPad charger, are there any problems?
In general, no. You can connect any USB device via any USB cable to any USB port and nothing will explode, and a more powerful charger will even speed up battery charging.
A more specific answer is that a lot depends on the age of the device. Back in 2007, the USB Implementers Forum introduced the Battery Charging Specification with more standardization quick ways charging. Shortly thereafter, USB devices began to implement these features.
If you have a modern device, almost every smartphone, tablet and camera can be plugged into a high-current connector and enjoy the benefits of fast charging. However, if you are using legacy devices, they probably won't work with the Battery Charging Specification. They will only be able to work with the old USB 1.0 and 2.0 ports (usually 500mA). In some particularly severe cases, devices can only be charged using a computer if certain drivers are available.
But there are a few more things to know. While computers can have two kinds of USB connectors - a standard output and a charging port, manufacturers rarely label them as such. As a result, the device can only be charged from one of them. For the same reason, some external devices - hard drives and optical drives may require more power than the USB port can supply, so they have a Y-like cable or an optional AC adapter.
Either way, USB has made charging gadgets a lot easier. And if the new USB-C connector delivers all the promised functionality, things will get even better, and we will get rid of misconnection problems forever.

We're starting to see a shift towards USB Type-C cables, but for now, Micro USB cables remain the standard. When it comes time to charge your smartphone or other device, while not the most interesting piece of technology in your home, they are essential.
