This compact breakout is made for slim USB-C projects where a standard horizontal or vertical connector would sit too high. Its sunken Type-C connector straddles the PCBA, helping keep your build low profile while still breaking out the contacts you need.
USB-C gives you a reversible connector, extra data pins and higher current capability, but many projects can still use the familiar USB 2.0-style connections. For typical use, connect VBUS to your 5V input, GND to ground, and D+ and D- as normal.
The board includes two 5.1K resistors on the CC pins, which signal an upstream port to provide 5V and up to 1.5A, depending on what the upstream port can actually supply. The CC and SBU pins are also available if you want to detect cable polarity or use side-band data, or you can leave them disconnected.
Specifications:
- Product Dimensions: 20.4mm x 14.7mm x 3.3mm / 0.8" x 0.6" x 0.1"
- Product Weight: 1.0g / 0.0oz
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- USB 2.0
- USB 2.0 is a wired connection standard used for data and power between a device and a computer or compatible host. For this camera, it tells you what kind of port it plugs into and helps indicate whether older or newer computers are likely to work with it.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
- VBUS
- A label often used for the main bus or supply voltage being measured or distributed on a board. Knowing what VBUS refers to helps you wire the monitor to the correct point in the circuit, especially for high-side measurements.
