I'm currently prototyping a USB-C power connection for a project and this board has been really helpful for quickly connecting to a breadboard. It's pretty large so you probably won't be using it in a final assembly but having easy access to all 24 Pins of the USB spec is really nice. There's actually 26 pins total on this board, they include two extra GND pins for symmetry as the pins are offset to make room on the PCB. That confused me slightly because if you look at a USB spec you see A1 directly over B12, but on this board A1 is over a GND. Once you realize there are 26 pins on the board not 24 it makes sense.While the board itself doesn't contain any resistors there appears to be a few solder pads on the board presumably so that you can add resistors per spec. I'm by no means an expert on the USB-C spec but as I understand it to be fully compliant with the spec you would want to solder on the correct resistor values there to advertise the correct voltage. That being said I'm relatively new to the world of electronics and don't fully understand the USB-C spec. I cannot say if those are truly intended for that purpose and if they're even on the correct pins. I don't see why they'd be included otherwise but I have not tried to use themOverall these are nice little prototype boards for experimenting with the full spectrum of USB-C pins. They come in a handy little hard case as well. They worked great for me to easily prototype a small USB-C power input in tandem with a step down converter to get 3.3v power to my Esp8266 project. For the final build I'll probably solder on a pure USB-C connector but for rapidly prototyping these are fantastic.

I wanted something that breaks out all the lines on a USB C connector, and this does the job. There's no attempt at impedance control, but if you are using pin headers, you probably aren't overly concerned about that.
