Micro-USB Breakout – Horizontal

This horizontal Micro-USB breakout allows you to add a Micro-USB interface to your projects for power or data (or both!), with the flexibility to solder wires, headers and more, alongside M2.5 mounting options, underside soldering pads and cuttable configuration traces!

Each pin from the Micro-USB connector is broken out to clearly labelled 2.54mm-spaced pads. You can solder whatever you like to these, such as the included 5-pin 2.54mm header strip (great for breadboard usage), some prototyping wire, or even a 5-way 2.54mm terminal block.

If you’re soldering wires, consider using the underside solder pads. We added these because we know just how tricky it is to de-solder and re-solder a wire from a pad hole. With the underside pads, it’s much, much easier to re-work and re-use.

On the underside, you’ll find a cuttable trace to disconnect ground from the Micro-USB connector shield (connected by default), because we’ve had a few customers asking for this in the past.

We also used M2.5 mounting holes as they’re a popular size with easy-to-source fixings…and because we despise fiddly M2 fixings.
