{"title":"Adafruit USB Type C Plug Breakout","handle":"adafruit-usb-type-c-plug-breakout-ada5978","url":"/products/adafruit-usb-type-c-plug-breakout-ada5978","description":"The Adafruit USB Type C Plug Breakout gives you easy access to the pins on a USB-C plug connector, making it simple to add a USB-C connection to your projects. A 5.1K resistor on the CC1 pin signals the upstream host to provide 5V at up to 1.5A, so you get reliable power negotiation out of the box.\n\nThe semi-through-hole plug mounting provides reasonable mechanical stability for prototyping. For most use cases, simply connect VBUS to your 5V input, GND to ground, and D+/D- as expected — just like you would with an older Mini or Micro B connector.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nUSB Type-C Plug – Symmetric, reversible connector in a plug (male) form factor\n\n5.1K CC Resistor – Pre-configured to request 5V at up to 1.5A from the host\n\nAll Key Pins Broken Out – Access to VBUS, GND, D+, and D-\n\nUSB 2.0 Compatible – Drop-in replacement for older Mini or Micro B plug connectors\n\nSemi-Through-Hole Mount – Reasonably stable mechanical connection for prototyping\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nAdding a USB-C plug to custom cables or projects\nReplacing Mini or Micro B plugs with USB-C\nUSB 2.0 data and power prototyping\nLearning about USB-C plug pinout and signalling\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit USB Type C Plug Breakout\n\n\n\nNote: Unlike USB-C sockets, the plug side intentionally uses only one set of D+/D-/CC pins — this is how the host determines cable orientation. The socket on the other end ties the data lines together. The plug will not survive purposeful bending the way a Type-A connector would.\n\n\nResources\n\nIntroduction to USB Type-C (Microchip App Note, PDF)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":983,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5978","mpn":"ADA5978","price":4.83,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
