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. The 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. Key Features USB Type-C Plug – Symmetric, reversible connector in a plug (male) form factor 5.1K CC Resistor – Pre-configured to request 5V at up to 1.5A from the host All Key Pins Broken Out – Access to VBUS, GND, D+, and D- USB 2.0 Compatible – Drop-in replacement for older Mini or Micro B plug connectors Semi-Through-Hole Mount – Reasonably stable mechanical connection for prototyping Ideal For Adding a USB-C plug to custom cables or projects Replacing Mini or Micro B plugs with USB-C USB 2.0 data and power prototyping Learning about USB-C plug pinout and signalling Package Contents 1× Adafruit USB Type C Plug Breakout Note: 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.
