Pin Configuration

  • 5V 3A ERD Power Adapter with Micro USB cable
  • Micro USB Cable Pinout:
  • The Micro USB cable has a total of 5 pins, which are used to transmit power and data between devices. Here's a breakdown of each pin and its function:
  • Pin 1: VBUS (Power Pin)
  • Function: Provides 5V power output from the power adapter to the connected device.
  • Description: This pin carries the 5V DC power from the power adapter to the device, allowing it to charge or operate.
  • Pin 2: GND (Ground Pin)
  • Function: Provides a ground connection between the power adapter and the connected device.
  • Description: This pin serves as a return path for the power supply and helps to complete the electrical circuit.
  • Pin 3: D- (Data Minus Pin)
  • Function: Carries data signals from the device to the host (e.g., a computer).
  • Description: This pin is used for data transmission in USB protocols, such as USB 2.0, but is not used in this power adapter since it's only designed for power delivery.
  • Pin 4: D+ (Data Plus Pin)
  • Function: Carries data signals from the host to the device.
  • Description: Like Pin 3, this pin is used for data transmission in USB protocols but is not utilized in this power adapter.
  • Pin 5: ID (Identification Pin)
  • Function: Not used in this power adapter.
  • Description: This pin is reserved for future use or for specialized applications, such as USB OTG (On-The-Go) devices.
  • Connection Structure:
  • To connect the pins properly, follow this structure:
  • Connect the Micro USB cable to the power adapter and the device to be powered or charged.
  • Ensure Pin 1 (VBUS) of the Micro USB cable is connected to the positive terminal of the power adapter's output.
  • Connect Pin 2 (GND) of the Micro USB cable to the negative terminal of the power adapter's output.
  • Pins 3 (D-) and 4 (D+) are not used in this power adapter, so they don't need to be connected.
  • Pin 5 (ID) is not used, so it's not necessary to connect it.
  • By following this pinout and connection structure, you can safely and effectively use the 5V 3A ERD Power Adapter with Micro USB cable to power or charge your devices.
