USB-C-Breakout-PCB

A simple USB-C breakout board meant to be used with mechanical keyboard PCBs. This DOES NOT use a JST connector, but rather a Molex one. It also does not use the standard Hirose Type-C port (which is prone to snapping off boards) but rather a more secure though more expensive hybrid SMT/THT Wurth port. See the BOM for more details.

Questions

How big is the USBCBreakout PCB?

It measures 19.1 × 36 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USBCBreakout use?

8 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 USBCBreakout KiCad files?

From the SriramGDev/USB-C-Breakout-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is USBCBreakout.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USBCBreakout design in my own project?

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