  • Patent number: 8246388
    Abstract: A USB port includes a casing, first pins and second pins. The casing includes outer walls and a pillar. An accommodation space is formed between the outer walls. The pillar is disposed in the accommodation space. The casing has an opening exposing the pillar, and the pillar has a first surface, a second surface adjacent to the first surface, a third surface opposite to the first surface, and a fourth surface opposite to the second surface. The first pins are disposed at the first surface and the third surface, and the first pins conform to the USB 2.0 specification and the USB 3.0 specification. The second pins are disposed at the second surface and the fourth surface, and the second pins conform to the USB 3.0 specification. A USB plug for joined with the USB port is also provided.
