USB is the most used technology in consumer electronics. Since its introduction, the fast, convenient, and reliable data transmission and charging functions have made it an indispensable part of modern life. USB technology continues to evolve and update. From the original USB 1.0 to the current USB 3.0 and 3.1. There is even a USB4 standard. Each generation of USB technology gives users a faster and more efficient experience. USB connectors are also constantly evolving. The USB Type-A has evolved to Micro-USB and Mini-USB. Now the most commonly used USB Type-C is the mainstream option. Each stage of the USB evolution represents advances in technology and changes in user demands.
USB is often used in electronics, at the same time, USB issues often occur. Recently, the iPhone 15 was launched and changed to a USB Type-C connector, triggering a discussion about overheating during charging. There are many reasons for overheating during charging. From the most basic level, the design and material of the connector are both basic reasons why this happens.
Poor Product Design Leads to Heavy Losses
When the USB connector is poorly designed, it causes the temperature of the cable or the connected device to rise. When this happens, it could lead to unstable data transmission or stop the connected device from charging. Even worse, the connected device could be permanently damaged from overheating and data will be lost. In the worst-case scenario, an electrical fire may be caused, possibly resulting in heavy losses. All of the above scenarios are unacceptable for consumers.
