The '''[[wikipedia: USB_hardware#Connectors|(Universal Serial Bus (USB)) connector]]''' was designed to standardize the connection of peripherals to personal computers, both to communicate with and to supply electric power.  It has largely replaced interfaces such as serial ports and parallel ports, and has become commonplace on a wide range of devices.
