The pbcb Power

This board's small. how small is it? So small I had to put multiple so it'd be big enough for pcb fabs to make it.
-
It's no bigger than the port itself.
-
The resistors face the port itself instead of sticking off the back.
-
Through hole port for strength, keeping the entire thing small, allow for one sided assembly of the resistors so you dont have to solder those on yourself, makes it more noob friendly.
-
Has large copper areas to help prevent pad burn-off, making it more noob friendly to put together/use
-
Use a max board thickness of 0.8mm.
-
Port. For the resistor you can use any 5.1kΩ 402 resistor.
-
BOM and Pick and Place files are provided, The pick and place is set up for JLCPCB.

-
The board is short in the front to help the port stick through thicker plastic.
-
There's resistor pads on both sides of the PCB to allow you to move them out of the way if need be(only use 2 resistors total, see example pictures)
-
Order a board thickness of 0.8mm or smaller if your fab allows. Remember, the thinner the board is the easier it'll be to fit in things.
-
USB-C Ports. For the resistor you can use any 5.1kΩ 402 resistor.
