2. WHAT IS USB CONNECTOR?
• A universal serial bus (USB) connector is a connector between a computer and
a peripheral device such as a printer, monitor, scanner, mouse or keyboard.
• The USB connector was developed to simplify the connection between
computers and peripheral devices.
• Prior to the USB interface, peripheral devices had a multitude of connectors.
The USB interface provides various benefits.
• The type of connector used depends on the device used and the location of
the connection. A connector plugs into a USB socket or USB port which is built
into the device as well as on your PC (and sometimes Mac). Plugs are meant to
work with matching sockets.
