## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE08095:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE08095:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This plug and breakout board provides an easy way to extract signals and power when plugged into a USB Type-C Receptacle.

By default, the CC pin is connected via a 5.1K resistor to GND (-), meaning the plug identifies as a downstream port, and the upstream port will provide up to 1.5A at 5V. You can replace or move the resistor to pull the CC pin to VBUS (+) or change the pull value.

The 3.0 variant of the breakout board contains only two SuperSpeed differential pairs (RX2+/- and TX2+/-), meaning only single-lane mode is available.

As per the USB Type-C specification, the plug has only one pair of D+/D- pins; it’s up to the Receptacle it's plugged into to connect them together or use a mux for more advanced scenarios. Similar with CC and VCONN pins. The SBU pins are not available.
