This USB-C breakout module is designed to separate out all pins and the shield of a standard 24-pin USB-C plug connector. As with prior USB breakout modules, each pin is grouped together on a grid for ease of measurement of signal levels and communication. Data and control lines are presented at connectors J1- J8 without VBUS or ground connections. The VBUS, ground, and shield connections are available at the pin-headers J9 – J12. The mounting holes P1 – P5 are connected to the entire shield path among all connections.
Connectors J9 and J10 are in parallel as physical connections to each other. Just the same as J11 and J12. These paired pin-headers are set up this way to support either ribbon cable terminations or perforated board placement while leaving open the pin connections for additional breakout aside from the grid between J1 and J8.
