SmartElex USB-C Connector Breakout Module The SmartElex USB-C Connector Breakout Module is the ideal solution for makers and engineers looking to add a USB-C connector to their projects with ease. Designed similar to the SparkFun USB C Breakout, this handy USB C breakout board eliminates the hassle of soldering fine SMD pins while offering robust connectivity. It conveniently breaks out essential pins — VBUS, GND, CC1, CC2, D+, and D− — to a standard 0.1" header, making it breadboard-friendly and perfect for rapid prototyping. With support for up to 1.5A nominal current and up to 3A depending on your power source, it ensures stable performance for a wide range of applications. Plus, the reversible USB-C design saves you from the common frustration of cable orientation, delivering both convenience and reliability in one compact module. Pin Configuration: A USB Type-C connector typically has 24 pins, although a 16-pin arrangement prioritizes key functions. Here's an overview of typical pin assignments: Power (VCC): Pins 1 and 4 typically deliver +5V, enabling USB Power Delivery (PD) for charging and powering devices. Ground (GND): Pins 2 and 5 are common ground connections that must be completed for the circuit to function properly. USB 2.0 Datalines: Pins 6 (D+) and 7 (D-) are used for USB 2.0 data transfer, which ensures compatibility with earlier USB devices. SuperSpeed Data Lines: Pins 8 (TX1+), 9 (TX1-), 10 (RX1+), and 11 (RX1-) enable high-speed data transfer (USB 3.x), with data speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Configuration Channel (CC): Pins 12 (CC1) and 13 (CC2) are used to identify cable orientation, negotiate power, and set up USB Power Delivery protocols. Sideband Usage (SBU): Pins 14 (SBU1) and 15 (SBU2) are utilized for alternate modes (audio or video) and can also serve other purposes in some applications. Additional data lines are optional: Pins 16 (TX2+, TX2-, RX2+, RX2-): These can be used in some setups to provide SuperSpeed data lanes, hence improving data transfer capabilities. Features: Easy USB-C integration allows you to incorporate a USB-C connector into designs without having to solder small SMD pads. Higher power output delivers up to three times the power of earlier USB generations. A reversible connection corrects the issue of inserting the USB cord incorrectly. Pin breakout Breaks out the essential pins of the USB-C connector (VBUS, GND, CC1, CC2, D+, and D-) into a 0.1" pitch header for convenient access.
