Questions

How big is the UsbC2UsbA PCB?

It measures 63.2 × 30.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the UsbC2UsbA use?

8 parts, built around the USBLC6-2SC6. 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 UsbC2UsbA KiCad files?

From the TheusHen/UsbC2UsbA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is UsbC2UsbA.kicad_pcb and its schematic UsbC2UsbA.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the UsbC2UsbA 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).
