This breakout board gives you easy access to all 5 pins of a USB Micro-B connector via standard 0.1" header pins. It's a simple way to add USB 5V power to a project, interface with a USB-capable microcontroller, or prototype custom USB connections on a breadboard.
The board uses a micro-AB connector with through-hole shielding pads for a strong, secure connection that won't pull off accidentally. Comes with a stick of 0.1" header for soldering and breadboard use.
Key Features
- All 5 Pins Broken Out – VCC, D−, D+, ID, and GND accessible
- Through-Hole Shield Pads – Extra-strong mechanical connection
- Breadboard-Friendly – 0.1" header included for easy prototyping
- Fully Assembled – Connector pre-soldered to PCB; just add the header
Ideal For
- Adding USB 5V power to projects
- Prototyping USB connections on a breadboard
- Interfacing with USB-capable microcontrollers
- Custom USB cable and adapter builds
Package Contents
- 1× USB Micro-B Breakout Board (assembled and tested)
- 1× 0.1" Header Strip
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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
