The USB Type-C connector is intended to supersede a wide range of existing USB connectors. It is reversible and can serve in both USB host and USB device roles, allowing either end of a cable to be plugged into a receptacle with either side up, and it can support negotiation of increased power and alternate uses of the USB interface wires. The USB-C connectors 24 tightly-spaced pins make it difficult to use in a hobby project or prototype design. This breakout board helps by providing access to the connectors pins for power (VBUS and GND), USB 2.0 differential data (D and D-), Configuration Channel and Sideband Use.
