I made this project just for fun and because i had some free time. I could've made USB 2.0 hub but this was a bit challenging thus i made this!!

GigaHub

GigaHub is a USB 3.0 Hub capable of speeds upto 5Gbps. It comes in a small form factor and can handle upto 4 devices simultaneously. The silkscreen on the bottom makes it obvious. You plug in the USB-C cable on one side, and you get 4x USB-C cables.

I made this project just for fun and because i had some free time. I could've made USB 2.0 hub but this was a bit challenging thus i made this!!

How to build

To Assemble this PCB, first you need to be familiar with soldering. You take your bare PCB, apply solder paste on it(soldering iron and solder is not recommended because it involves pins under the surface, such as the USB-C receptacles). Then, you take a hotplate or a hot air gun and melt the solder appropriately. There are many tutorials online teaching it in a great way, go search there!

The linked html file under /hardware/bom helps you with placement!

Questions

How big is the Usb hub PCB?

It measures 61.4 × 45.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Usb hub use?

75 parts, built around the TPS2561DRC. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Usb hub KiCad files?

From the Keyaan-07/GigaHub repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/usb-hub.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/usb-hub.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Usb hub design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
