From the project
Minimal USB-C to JST-SH daughterboard PCB
Currently in development; not finalized or tested.
- Physically compact - 31.50 x 10.00 mm for Variant A - 20.00 x 13.50 mm for Variant B - Balanced minimizing of dimensions with a focus on ease of implementation on the case-side - Physically robust - 2x M2.5 screws for a balance between robustness, ease of manufacturing, user-friendliness, and physical compactness - 1.6mm PCB to counter cable torque and resist over-tensioned screw-in by users - Minimal, practical implementation - Single-sided for easy assembly - whether at a factory or reflowing at home - Two-layer for affordable…
