Question USB C vs USB A

[Wing901]

Does USB C port on the motherboard or interface card provide more power than that of USB A port ?

 

[faalin]

depends on the port, but yes a USB-C port will output more amps then a USB-A port.

USB-C

• Default USB Power (BC1.2): The nominal voltage is 5V and the maximum power output is 7.5W
• USB Type-C 1.5A: The nominal voltage is 5V and the maximum power output is 7.5W
• USB Type-C 3.0A: The nominal voltage is 5V and the maximum power output is 15W
• USB PD SPR: The nominal voltage is configurable up to 20V and the maximum power output is 100W

USB A 1.0 & 2.0 5v at 2.5watts =.5A
USB A 3.0 5V at 4.5watts = .9A
