USB Micro-B Breakout Board
The Adafruit USB Micro-B Breakout Board is a compact engineering development tool that provides a micro-B connector with all five pins broken out to 0.1 inch headers. It arrives fully assembled and tested so developers can immediately integrate USB connectivity or 5 V power into a microcontroller project. A short stick of header pins is included for breadboard use. The board measures 10 mm by 20 mm by 4 mm and weighs 0.64 g.
Five-pin access and power delivery
All five USB Micro-B pins are exposed, giving direct access to VBUS, D-, D+, ID and ground for custom firmware or diagnostic work. The VBUS line supplies 5 V power to the target circuit, convenient for low-current prototypes. Through-hole shielding pads reinforce the connector against accidental cable strain. The tiny 1 mm profile without the connector keeps the assembly low inside enclosures.
Replaces hand-wired USB connectors
This breakout replaces fragile hand-soldered USB pigtails on prototype boards, eliminating lifted pads and intermittent connections. It is not suited for designs that require USB Type-C, USB 3.0 speeds or host-side OTG negotiation beyond the ID pin. The jump is worth it when a reliable, breadboard-friendly Micro-B interface is needed for rapid iteration.

Questions about this item
Will the 10mm x 20mm board fit alongside a microcontroller on a standard 0.1" breadboard?
The PCB measures 10mm by 20mm with a 1mm profile and includes a 0.1" header strip for breadboard mounting.
How can I verify the USB Micro-B connector is functioning after soldering the header?
The board arrives fully assembled and tested; plug it into a USB host and confirm the 5V and data pins are live.
Does the package include the 0.1" header or must I source it separately?
One fully assembled breakout PCB and a small stick of 0.1" header are supplied together.
