Scrappy Tail

A DIY USB 2.0 Hub with 4 Type-A ports and a Type-C input, with a cute 3D printed scrappy cat case!! :3

Scrappy Tail connects to your device using USB Type-C (hence the cable making it look like a tail!) and gives you 4 additional USB Type-A ports. It uses the SL2.1A hub controller, so it uses USB 2.0 interface and thus speeds are limited to 480Mbps

PCB designed in KiCAD and CAD designed in OnShape.

Questions

How big is the Scrappy Tail PCB?

It measures 99 × 31 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Scrappy Tail use?

24 parts, built around the SL2.1A, CL31A107MQHNNNE, 67643-3911 and RC0603FR-5K1L. 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 Scrappy Tail KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Scrappy Tail design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask junyali before reusing the design.
