The Adafruit Switchable USB Type A to C Breakout Board lets you individually enable or disable each of the four USB wires (V+, D+, D−, GND) using an onboard 4-position DIP switch. This makes it a versatile tool for USB debugging, charge-only configurations, and power monitoring.
Key Features
- 4-Position DIP Switch – Independently toggle V+, D+, D−, and GND lines
- USB Type A to Type C – Type A plug on one end, Type C socket on the other
- Labelled Probe Pads – On both sides of the board for signal and power monitoring
- Charge-Only Mode – Disable D+ and D− to block data while allowing charging
- Power Monitoring – Disable V+ (high side) or GND (low side) to insert a current meter
Ideal For
- USB signal debugging and probing
- Creating charge-only USB connections
- Power monitoring and current measurement
- Low-current microcontroller project board hacking
Package Contents
- 1× Switchable USB Type A to C breakout board
Note: The DIP switches are rated for 5V at 100 mA. Designed for low-current microcontroller projects.
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.
- DIP switch
- A DIP switch is a small set of physical on/off switches used to configure hardware settings without software. It matters because changing features such as auto power-on or charging limits may require moving these tiny switches correctly.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
