USB-B Breakout Module

This USB Micro-B breakout module is sort of a little brother of the USB-A 10-pin breakout module designs and developed earlier. This module only provides for 5-pins including shield terminations. Specifically, pinout connections corresponding to USB 2.0. The input plug extends to the output receptacle with numerous signal and voltage tap points in-between.

As before with the USB-A break out module, these through-hole connections serve as a grid of tap points for purposes of measurement, or to add an external device for peripheral functions (J1 – J8). The female receptacle is the input at J11 and the other female receptacle is the output at J12. The 5-pin headers at J9 and J10 are simply in parallel with both the USB plug and receptacle for extended use without the need for solder work at the J1 – J8 header grid.
