This is a USB hub. It has a USB-C port to connect to the device. It has two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports, which can be used for connecting more devices as it allows you to increase the number of ports available.
- USB-C port to form the connection between the hub and your device.
- 2 USB-A ports
- 2 USB-C ports
This is the schematic for the USB hub. It has an IC, which makes the hub work.
Its just a rounded rectangle shaped PCB and has three mounting holes, so it can be screwed into the case. I added some quotes as silkscreen art..
No zones
I designed this in Fusion, using my PCB as a guide. It has holes for M3 screws so the bottom and top parts hold together. You can find the files in the CAD folder.
For a more detailed BOM, take a look at BOM. It has links to the items and notes.

- Solder the components to the PCB.
- Print the case.
- Screw the PCB and the bottom case together so its stable.
- Screw the bottom and top case together.
- You have your USB hub!
This was designed in Figma. It wasn't easy to make. I had no ideas. I was stuck. Its not my best work.
I have been trying to get more into hardware, making guided projets before jumping in to make something my own. I want to have knowledge on how to do this stuff, so I know how to make my own project. My routing skills were improved. I made them neatly.y.
This project was submitted to Fallout.
