Adafruit USB Type C Vertical Breakout - Downstream Connection

Throw out all those Mini and Micro B USB cables you have in a plastic bin; the next generation of USB connectors is here with USB C! You will start to see these connectors pop up on all sorts of devices as the industry moves from micro B or lightning to the new standard.

This is the vertical version of the Adafruit USB Type C breakout board. USB C features a symmetric/reversible connector, more data pins, and higher current output capability. This breakout provides the basic pins and a resistor configuration that mimics classic USB 2.0 for a downstream connection.

The two 5.1K resistors on the CC pins indicate to the upstream port to provide 5V and up to 1.5A (depending on upstream capability).

• Connect VBUS to your 5V input, GND to ground, and D+ and D- as expected.
• Monitor CC and SBU pins to determine cable polarity or send side-band data.
• Since the connector is vertical, two identical breakout strips are provided to fit on a breadboard, plus four mounting holes for enclosures.
