Design files for an external enclosure for Framework 16 Input Modules

This is a USB-C adapter to mount and use two small Input Modules or one medium Input Module (like a numeric keypad) outside of a Framework Laptop 16. Note that the actual pogo pin connector is a custom Framework part which they have not made generally available; I am using a pair of alternate connectors from Molex which are compatible.

The PCB incorporates a 4-port USB 2.0 hub, so that both input module slots can be active. If you only need the leftmost input module connector to be functional (because you only want to use a medium-size Input Module, for example), then you can omit many of…
