Sparkfun USB 2.0 Type-C Connector Breakout Board

The USB 2.0 Type-C Connector Breakout Board offers a seamless solution for integrating USB-C connectivity into your projects. With its reversible plug design and enhanced power capabilities, USB-C is the go-to standard for modern devices. This breakout board simplifies the challenge of working with USB-C's 24 compact pins by extending the essential connections to a standard 2.54mm pitch.

Perfect for powering your projects, this board includes on-board Configuration Channel (CC) pull-down resistors (5.1kΩ). This feature sets the board as a "power sinking" device, allowing it to immediately request 5V when connected to a USB-C power source, such as a wall charger or laptop. This ensures a reliable power connection without the hassle of complex configurations.

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the board supports higher current applications with duplicate VBUS and GND pins. The layout includes essential power and data connections: VBUS, GND (x2 each), D+, D-, CC, and SBU. Additionally, a 1x10 straight male header is included, enabling compatibility with standard solderless breadboards and perfboards, making prototyping straightforward and efficient.
