Hello,
I am considering the use of a usb connector directly etched onto a PCB, rather than via a connector as usual.
Sparkfun appears to have provided this in their Eagle library: USB-A-PCB (thanks Sparkfun, you guys are awesome!).
RF shielding and other effects aside, can anyone comment on how well this works in practice?
Any hints as to what to look out for, etc?
And is a 1.6mm-thick PCB thick enough for a stable connection?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Franchie.
