  • 1 x USB Type-C Port
  • 2 x 3.6V Zener Diodes
  • 1 x Resettable Fuse (5.1mm)
  • 1 x 16MHz Crystal
  • 2 x 0.1uF Capacitors
  • 2 x 22pF Capacitors
  • 1 x 4.7uF Capacitor
  • 1 x 10K Resistor
  • 2 x 5.1K Resistors
  • 1 x 1.5K Resistor
  • 2 x 75R Resistors
  • 1 x 6-pin Header
  • 2 x 6mm Pushbuttons (Boot & Reset)

Recommended (not included):

• No-clean flux paste (HIGHLY recommended to prevent bridging on the USB pins)
