Adaptador USB ShiverPeaks BS14-05016

The ShiverPeaks BS14-05016 is a USB 3.1 C to USB 2.0 A gender changer designed to bridge devices with different USB connectors. Its compact adapter body has a silver finish and nickel-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The adapter supports typical USB 2.0 data transfer rates and provides basic charging capability when connected between compatible host and peripheral devices.

Advantages

This gender changer offers a simple and compact solution for converting a USB-C port into a USB-A receptacle, enabling the use of legacy USB-A cables and devices without needing a full cable replacement. Nickel-plated contacts enhance durability and reduce contact resistance over time. The small form factor and neutral silver finish make it convenient for travel and unobtrusive in desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-A peripherals (keyboards, mice, flash drives) to USB-C ports
• Using existing USB-A charging cables with USB-C host devices for basic charging
• Temporary or occasional data transfer between devices with mismatched USB connectors

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB Type-C (male) to USB Type-A (female)
• Data standard supported: USB 2.0 data rates (up to 480 Mbps)
• Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Finish and housing: silver external finish with compact housing
• Compatibility: compatible with devices that support USB-C physical port and USB 2.0 peripherals

How to use

Insert the USB Type-C male end of the adapter into a USB-C port on the host device. Then plug the USB-A cable or peripheral into the adapter’s USB-A female receptacle. Ensure the connected devices support USB 2.0 signaling for data transfer; if a peripheral requires USB 3.x or higher speeds, performance will be limited to USB 2.0. For charging, verify the host device provides appropriate power over its USB-C port and that the connected cable and peripheral accept the supplied current.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for connecting legacy USB-A devices to modern USB-C ports in situations where full USB 3.x performance is not required. Avoid using the adapter for devices that demand high-speed USB 3.x bandwidth or for sustained high-current charging beyond typical USB 2.0 levels.
