USB-C is handy for modern projects, but its 24 tiny, tightly spaced pins are not friendly to hand soldering or quick prototyping. This breakout board routes the essential USB-C connections out to a standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch so you can work with them on breadboards, perfboards and other prototypes.
The board is set up as a USB-C power-sinking device with on-board 5.1kΩ CC pull-down resistors. That helps a USB-C wall charger or laptop detect an attached device and provide 5V power.
For easier wiring and higher-current layouts, duplicate VBUS and GND pins are provided. A 1x10 straight male header is included for soldering to the board.
Features:
- USB-C connector: Reversible USB-C connection for modern projects.
- Breadboard-friendly breakout: Routes the essential pins out to a standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch.
- Power sinking: On-board CC pull-down resistors (5.1kΩ) set the board as a power-sinking device.
- Power: VBUS, GND (x2 each).
- Data (USB 2.0): D+, D-.
- Configuration: CC.
- Sideband: SBU.
- Included header: 1x10 straight male header for compatibility with standard solderless breadboards and perfboards.
A useful little breakout for adding USB-C power or USB 2.0 data connections to prototypes without having to solder directly to a fine-pitch connector.
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-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.
