  • Our take on the SparkFun Vertical USB-C Breakout

    The SparkFun Vertical USB-C Breakout is a small board that turns a USB-C receptacle into a 0.1-inch pitch header, so you can wire VBUS, GND, CC1, CC2, D- and shield into a breadboard or perfboard without soldering the tiny SMD pads. The connector sits vertically, which suits panel mounts and edge-mounted ports. It handles up to 1.5A nominal and up to 3A depending on the upstream source, more than older Type-A, micro-B and mini-B breakouts. It is a bare breakout, not a USB-PD or data-role controller, so it suits hobbyists and prototypers rather than finished-product designers.

    Pros
    • Breaks out VBUS, GND, CC1, CC2, D- and shield to a 0.1-inch header
    • Vertical connector orientation suits panel mounts
    • Reversible USB-C plug, so no wrong-way insertion
    • No soldering of small SMD pads needed
    • Handles more current than older USB breakouts
    Cons
    • Bare breakout with no power-delivery negotiation
    • No data-role or CC controller on board
    • Current above 1.5A depends on the upstream source
    • Header pins still need wiring or soldering into a project

    About the SparkFun Vertical USB-C Breakout

    The SparkFun Vertical USB-C Breakout lets you add a vertical USB-C connector to a project without soldering each small SMD pad. The vertical orientation suits panel mounts. The connector is reversible, so a USB cable goes in either way.

    It breaks out the USB-C connector's VBUS, GND, CC1, CC2, D-, and SHLD pins into a 0.1-inch pitch header. Power is nominally up to 1.5A and can extend to 3A, depending on the upstream device. This is up to three times the power of earlier USB breakouts such as Type-A, micro-B, and mini-B.

    It is not a direct replacement for the USB-C Breakout. It has an additional pin, so the pin layout does not match.

    Questions and answers

    What pins does it break out?
    VBUS, GND, CC1, CC2, D- and the shield, all on a 0.1-inch pitch header. D+ is not broken out.
    How much current can it carry?
    Up to 1.5A nominal, and up to 3A depending on the upstream source. It does not negotiate power delivery itself.
    Is it good for panel mounts?
    Yes. The connector points vertically, which makes it easy to align with a cutout in an enclosure or panel.
    Do I still need to solder?
    Not to the USB-C pads. You still connect the header pins to your circuit, by soldering or with jumper wires.
    Does it work for USB data?
    It passes D- through, but it is a passive breakout with no controller. It is meant for power and simple signaling, not full USB device design.
    Where is the SparkFun Vertical USB-C Breakout cheapest?
    At RobotShop USA, for $5.50, as of our latest check.
