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.

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.
