Adafruit USB Type C CC Resistor Fixer

# Adafruit USB Type C CC Resistor Fixer Source: [https://www.adafruit.com/product/6323](https://www.adafruit.com/product/6323) Do you have any devices with USB C connections that don't seem to power or work when plugged into another USB C port? Chances are, the designers skimped a few pennies or just forgot to put in[the two 5\.1K CC resistors required for C\-to\-C connections](https://forum.digikey.com/t/simple-way-to-use-usb-type-c-to-get-5v-at-up-to-3a-15w/7016)at 5V\. It can drive you batty because some computers care and some don't\! That's why we designed the**Adafruit USB Type C CC Resistor Fixer**, a collab between our[sunken USB socket](https://www.adafruit.com/product/6050)and[USB Plug breakout](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5978)\. It's the only product we hope we can discontinue one day, sooner rather than later\! This small PCB assembly fits onto a cable or into the mis\-designed port\. It passes through the two data pins and the Vbus and Ground power lines, while adding the missing 5\.1K resistors on the port side and a power good LED\. Note that the USB plug pinout doesn't carry the sideband wires or the high speed pins, so this is good for USB charge/sync but not for high speed or specialty protocols\. If you're not sure, then it's very unlikely you need them: those products aren't going to mess up the CC resistors\.
