USB-C Breakout - Horizontal

Our horizontal USB-C breakout allows you to add a USB-C interface to your projects for power or data (or both!), with the flexibility to solder wires, headers and more, alongside M2.5 mounting options, underside soldering pads and cuttable configuration traces!

Each pin from the USB-C connector is broken out to clearly labelled 2.54mm-spaced pads. You can solder whatever you like to these, such as the included 8-pin 2.54mm header strip (great for breadboard usage), some prototyping wire, or even an 8-way 2.54mm terminal block.

If you're soldering wires, consider using the underside solder pads. We added these because we know just how tricky it is to de-solder and re-solder a wire from a pad hole. With the underside pads, it's much, much easier to re-work and re-use.

On top of the board, you'll find cuttable traces to disconnect the two CC resistors should your project require this (connected by default). On the underside, you'll find a cuttable trace to disconnect ground from the USB-C connector shield (connected by default).

We also used M2.5 mounting holes as they're a popular size with easy-to-source fixings...and because we despise fiddly M2 fixings.
