This code defines a detailed electronic hardware design for an 85-265VAC to USB-C PD 18W wall charger, including the schematic layout and physical component placements such as connectors, filtering inductors, capacitors, resistors, protection diodes, and an isolated power module, all integrated with 3D models and mechanical enclosures.

# `<breakout />`

A `<breakout />` is similar to a [`<group />`](./group.md) but is meant for situations where you want to guide the autorouter on where connections should exit the group. Inside a breakout you can place [`<breakoutpoint />`](./breakoutpoint.md) elements to define explicit exit locations, or let tscircuit generate breakout points automatically for connections that leave the breakout.

## Example

```tsx
export default () => (
  <board width="20mm" height="20mm">
    <breakout autorouter="auto">
      <resistor name="R1" resistance="1k" footprint="0402" pcbX={0} pcbY={0} />
      <capacitor name="C1" capacitance="1uF" footprint="0402" pcbX={2} pcbY={0} />
      <trace from="R1.2" to="C1.1" />
      <breakoutpoint connection="R1.1" pcbX={5} pcbY={5} />
    </breakout>
  </board>
)
```

## Auto-generated breakout points

When traces connect from components inside a `<breakout />` to components outside of it, tscircuit creates the needed breakout points automatically — no manual `<breakoutpoint />` required. This keeps the breakout local to the component cluster while still letting board-level traces reach headers and surrounding parts.

```tsx
export default () => (
  <board width="20mm" height="16mm">
    <breakout name="MCU_BREAKOUT" padding="1mm">
      <chip
        name="U1"
        footprint="qfp16"
        pinLabels={{ pin1: "GPIO1", pin5: "VCC", pin6: "GND", pin7: "SDA", pin8: "SCL" }}
        pcbX={0}
        pcbY={0}
      />
      <capacitor name="C1" capacitance="100nF" footprint="0402" pcbX={-3.5} pcbY={2.4} />
      <trace from="C1.1" to="U1.GPIO1" />
    </breakout>
    <pinheader
      name="J1"
      pinCount={4}
      footprint="pinrow4"
      pinLabels={["VCC", "GND", "SDA", "SCL"]}
      pcbX={7}
      pcbY={0}
      pcbRotation={90}
    />
    <trace from="J1.VCC" to="U1.VCC" />
    <trace from="J1.GND" to="U1.GND" />
    <trace from="J1.SDA" to="U1.SDA" />
    <trace from="J1.SCL" to="U1.SCL" />
  </board>
)
```

## Props

`<breakout />` accepts all the layout props of `<group />` plus:

- `padding` — uniform padding around the breakout region
- `paddingLeft` / `paddingRight` / `paddingTop` / `paddingBottom` — per-side padding
- `autorouter` — autorouter configuration inherited by children
