µC USB 2.0 Type C Breakout Board

I like USB C, You like USB C. We all like USB C.
But there's one thing missing from all the cheap USB Type C breakout boards on the market, and that is support for USB C to C cables.
This board solves that by following the basic spec and inclusing the two 5k1 pull-down resistors. It also maintains a small and light footprint to make integration easy. Finally, it breaks out all the pins on the type C 2.0 connector, which includes: VCC, GND, D+, D-, CC1, CC2, SBU1, and SBU2.

Questions

How big is the UC Breakout PCB?

It measures 10.3 × 9.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the UC Breakout use?

12 parts. 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 UC Breakout KiCad files?

From the CasualCodersProjects/uC-Breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is uC breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic uC breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the UC Breakout design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
