USB 2.0 Type-C Connector Breakout Board

USB-C is the modern standard for connectivity offering reversible plugging and higher power capabilities. However the connector's 24 tiny tightly spaced pins are notoriously difficult to solder by hand or use in a prototype. This breakout board solves that headache by routing the essential pins out to a standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch.Power Sinking Made SimpleOne of the trickiest parts of using USB-C for power is the Configuration Channel (CC). Unlike older USB standards USB-C sources often won't supply power until they detect a device is attached. However this board features on-board CC pull-down resistors (5.1k ). This sets the board as a "power sinking" device ensuring that when you plug it into a USB-C wall charger or laptop it immediately requests 5V.Connectivity & LayoutTo support higher current applications the board features duplicate VBUS and GND pins. The breakdown includes:Power: VBUS GND (x2 each)Data (USB 2.0): D+ D-Configuration: CCSideband: SBUAlso included is a 1x10 straight male header that you can solder to the board making it compatible with standard solderless breadboards and perfboards.
