## Description

The Adafruit USB Type C Vertical Breakout (Downstream Connection) provides easy access to all the pins on a USB-C connector in a vertical orientation, ideal for breadboard use and enclosure mounting. 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. The 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. Key Features Vertical USB Type-C Connector – Stands upright for easy breadboard and enclosure use Downstream Configuration – Pre-configured with 5.1K CC resistors for device/sink mode All Pins Broken Out – Access to VBUS, GND, D+, D-, CC, and SBU pins Dual Breakout Strips – Identical pin access on both sides for stable breadboard mounting Four Mounting Holes – Secure attachment to enclosures and panels USB 2.0 Compatible – Drop-in replacement for older Mini or Micro B connectors Up to 1.5A – CC resistor configuration requests up to 1.5A from the host Ideal For Breadboard prototyping with USB-C power and data Enclosure-mounted USB-C ports Upgrading projects from Micro B or Mini B to USB-C USB-C pin analysis and learning Package Contents 1× Adafruit USB Type C Vertical Breakout - Downstream Connection Tip: Looking for a horizontal version?
