## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5030:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5030:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

If you've got a computer or laptop with a USB C port, but you're itching to use one of Adafruit's fancy [new Trinkeys](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=trinkey), this adapter will do an excellent job at turning that USB Type C port into a USB A port!

Works great with any device that has a USB C port. These adapters don't magically give you USB C speeds into a USB 2.x device, and they won't give you the power negotiation stuff because those pins aren't available on type A connectors. So it's strictly for devices that use 5V and up to ~2.5A.

**Technical Details**

- Product Dimensions: 31.2mm x 14.7mm x 7.3mm / 1.2" x 0.6" x 0.3"
