Two 5.1K resistors on the CC pins signal the upstream host to provide 5V at up to 1.5A, mimicking classic USB 2.0 downstream behaviour.\n\nThe vertical design includes two identical breakout strips on either side so the board sits flat on a breadboard, plus four mounting holes for enclosure attachment. For most projects, simply connect VBUS to your 5V input, GND to ground, and D+/D- as expected.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nVertical USB Type-C Connector – Stands upright for easy breadboard and enclosure use\n\nDownstream Configuration – Pre-configured with 5.1K CC resistors for device/sink mode\n\nAll Pins Broken Out – Access to VBUS, GND, D+, D-, CC, and SBU pins\n\nDual Breakout Strips – Identical pin access on both sides for stable breadboard mounting\n\nFour Mounting Holes – Secure attachment to enclosures and panels\n\nUSB 2.0 Compatible – Drop-in replacement for older Mini or Micro B connectors\n\nUp to 1.5A – CC resistor configuration requests up to 1.5A from the host\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nBreadboard prototyping with USB-C power and data\nEnclosure-mounted USB-C ports\nUpgrading projects from Micro B or Mini B to USB-C\nUSB-C pin analysis and learning\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit USB Type C Vertical Breakout - Downstream Connection\n\n\n\nTip: Looking for a horizontal version?
