This breakout board provides easy access to the tightly-spaced 24 pins of a USB Type-C receptacle, breaking out power (VBUS, GND), USB 2.0 differential data (D+, D−), Configuration Channel (CC), and Sideband Use (SBU) pins to a 0.1"-spaced through-hole header for use with breadboards, perfboard, and standard connectors.
The board includes 5.11 kΩ termination resistors on the CC1 and CC2 pins, configuring it as a Sink/UFP (device) by default — a drop-in replacement for Type-B, Mini-B, or Micro-B receptacles. These resistors can be removed for Source configuration or advanced USB Power Delivery negotiation.
Key Features
- USB Type-C Receptacle – Reversible connector with all key pins broken out
- 0.1" Header Pinout – 1×10 pin row compatible with breadboards and perfboard
- Duplicate Power Pins – Extra VBUS and GND connections for high-current applications
- Default Sink/UFP Configuration – 5.11 kΩ CC termination resistors pre-installed
- USB 2.0 Support – Low-Speed, Full-Speed, and High-Speed communication
- Compact Size – 0.8" × 0.55" (0.8" × 0.6" including connector)
- Mounting Holes – Two 0.086" holes for #2 or M2 screws
Breakout Pins

- GND – Ground (with duplicate for high current)
- D+ / D− – USB 2.0 differential data pair
- CC1 / CC2 – Configuration Channel (pulled to GND via 5.11 kΩ by default)
- SBU1 / SBU2 – Sideband Use (for Alternate Mode applications)
Specifications
- USB Standard – USB 2.0 (Low-Speed, Full-Speed, High-Speed)
- Connector – USB Type-C receptacle
- Header Pitch – 0.1" (2.54 mm)

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.
- USB Power Delivery
- USB Power Delivery is a standard that lets devices negotiate higher power levels over a USB-C connection. For this carrier board, PD 60W support matters because the Jetson module and connected peripherals may need more power than basic USB can provide.
- USB Type-C
- A reversible USB connector used for power and data on many modern devices. On this kit it indicates an alternate 5V power input, which may be useful for setup or charging without the solar panel.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
- VBUS
- A label often used for the main bus or supply voltage being measured or distributed on a board. Knowing what VBUS refers to helps you wire the monitor to the correct point in the circuit, especially for high-side measurements.
