Product Description

This Female USB Type C (USB-C) 3.1 Connector comes pre-mounted on a compact breakout plate, making it incredibly easy to integrate USB-C connectivity into your DIY electronics projects. The breakout board exposes all 16 pins to large, clearly spaced solder pads — perfect for hand soldering, breadboard prototyping, or direct PCB integration.

Whether you're building a custom charging circuit, adding a modern USB-C data port to a project enclosure, or prototyping a new product design, this connector gives you full access to power delivery (VBUS & GND), data lines (D+/D−), and configuration channel (CC) pins. The reversible USB-C design means your end users can plug in the cable either way — no more fumbling with orientation.

The soldered-on breakout plate converts the fine-pitch SMD connector into easy-to-work-with 2.54mm (0.1") pitch through-hole or surface pads, bridging the gap between a tiny USB-C footprint and standard prototyping tools.

Key Features

USB Type C Female Socket Industry-standard reversible connector — compatible with all USB-C cables and devices.

16 Pin Full Breakout All 16 pins broken out to accessible solder pads including VBUS, GND, D+, D−, CC1, CC2, SBU, and more.

Pre-Mounted on Plate The USB-C connector is pre-soldered to the breakout board — no SMD soldering skill required.

Breadboard & PCB Friendly Standard 2.54mm pad pitch works with breadboards, perfboard, and custom PCBs.

USB 3.1 Rated Supports USB 3.1 signalling for high-speed data transfer applications alongside power delivery.

Compact Form Factor Tiny board footprint makes it easy to fit into project enclosures, 3D-printed cases, and tight spaces.

📋 Typical Pin Functions (USB-C 16-Pin)

Exact pin labelling may vary — please verify with a multimeter before powering your circuit.

VBUS	USB power supply (typically 5V)
GND	Ground connection
D+ / D−	USB 2.0 data lines
CC1 / CC2	Configuration channel — cable orientation & PD negotiation
SBU1 / SBU2	Sideband use — for alternate modes (e.g. audio, DisplayPort)
TX1+/TX1−	SuperSpeed transmit pair
RX1+/RX1−	SuperSpeed receive pair

💡 Quick-Start Tip: Simple 5V Power Only

If you just need a USB-C power input (e.g. replacing a micro-USB jack), simply connect VBUS and GND pads to your circuit, and place a 5.1kΩ resistor from each CC pin to GND. This tells the USB-C host to deliver 5V — no complex PD negotiation needed.
