Coming soon - USB Plug with THM mounting tabs
We've had some requests to get our Trinkeys soldered up with USB C plugs instead of USB A and like, that turns out to not be trivial! we have to find a USB C plug with through hold tabs so they're nice and strong, and ideally one that isn't "Straddle Mount" where you have to manually place it on the two edges of a PCB. this connector is a nice balance, it has 12 pins so it isn't USB 3.0 but that's OK because right now we're only using USB 2 on our microcontrollers. there's only one CC pin, that's how the upstream can determine orientation. these are more expensive than USB type A but if this works, we can try making some Trinkeys that plug right into modern laptops.
