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
- VBUS – USB power (with duplicate for high current)
- 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)
- CC Termination – 5.11 kΩ to GND (removable)
- Dimensions – 0.8" × 0.55" (20.3 × 14 mm)
- Mounting – 2× 0.086" holes (#2 or M2)
Note: This board does not expose the USB 3.1 SuperSpeed differential pairs (TX/RX), so it only supports USB 2.0 communication.
Ideal For
- Adding USB-C connectivity to breadboard and perfboard projects
- Replacing legacy Mini-B or Micro-B receptacles with USB-C
- USB power delivery prototyping
- Custom USB device development
Package Contents
- 1× USB 2.0 Type-C Connector Breakout Board
- 1× 1×10 Straight Male Header (0.1" pitch)
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- RX
- RX means receive, usually showing data being received by the board. An RX indicator LED can help with troubleshooting USB or serial communication.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
- TX
- TX means transmit, usually showing data being sent from the board. A TX indicator LED can help you see when the board is communicating or uploading code.
- Type-C
- USB Type-C (USB-C) is a small, reversible USB connector used for charging, power, and data transfer on many modern devices. A Type-C port or plug indicates the cable and charger connection needed to power, charge, or communicate with a device.
- USB 2.0
- USB 2.0 is a widely used wired standard for carrying both data and power between a device and a computer or other compatible host, with data rates up to 480 Mbps. It indicates the kind of port a device uses and that it should work with most modern and many older computers.
- USB Power Delivery
- USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) is a standard that lets devices negotiate higher power levels over a USB-C connection. It allows a device to draw or supply more power than basic USB provides, which matters for modules and peripherals with higher power demands.
- USB Type-C
- USB Type-C is a small, reversible USB connector used for power, data and sometimes video on many modern devices. The connector itself does not guarantee a particular speed or voltage, so check the supported USB version, data rate and whether it carries more than 5V via USB Power Delivery.
- USB-C
- USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
- VBUS
- VBUS is a label for a bus or supply voltage. Most commonly it is the +5V power line carried over USB, though on power-monitoring hardware it instead marks the bus-voltage input being measured, so check which sense applies before connecting power or a measurement point.
