Questions

How big is the Usb PCB?

It measures 9.8 × 11.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Usb use?

6 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 Usb KiCad files?

From the nataliethenerd/USBC_ColorOrPocket repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad files/usb.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad files/usb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Usb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
