This USB-C Male Breakout Board 4 Pin makes it simple to add a USB-C plug to your custom cables, adapters, and electronics projects. Featuring a male USB-C connector with 2.54mm spaced pins, it’s designed for breadboard prototyping and integration into devices that need to connect to USB-C receptacles.

The board exposes the core USB connections, VBUS, GND, D+, and D-, allowing you to create custom USB-C cables or build devices that plug directly into USB-C ports. Whether you’re making a specialized adapter or prototyping a USB-C peripheral, this breakout gives you the essential signals in a compact, easy-to-use format.

How It Works

The male USB-C connector is configured for basic USB 2.0 operation, with the necessary resistor configuration to ensure proper power negotiation. Connect VBUS to your power source (or leave it for power input), GND to ground, and D+ and D- for USB data communication. The male connector plugs into any standard USB-C receptacle, making it perfect for creating custom peripherals or test equipment.
