Presumably you are trying to connect a USB device that has a USB Type-A plug to the Lightning port of your iPad9. If so, you’ll not be able to use a simple USB cable - but will instead require a hardware-adapter that incorporates a USB Root Hub/Controller that is otherwise absent from the iPad Lightning port.


You will require an Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter:

Don’t be confused by the name of this adapter - as it is intended to provide both a USB Type-A socket (to which you can connect USB accessories and storage devices) and a pass-through Lightning connection to which you should connect your Power Adapter for charging purposes.


The standard USB to Lightning cable referenced by Smilin-Brian is used to connect your iPad to its Power Adapter for direct charging - or should it be required, for connection to a PC or Mac computer.
