One thing that popped up in my mind that I am curious to know more about is the USB-C plug integrated as part of the PCB.
It's the first time I've seen a PCB done like this for USB-C. Of course, it was common for USB 1/2, but I haven't even seen a USB 3 plug done this way (well, the other 5 contacts would have to be raised, can't draw that on CAD).
Everyone plays it safe and uses a housing to guide the contacts. USB-C is 0.5mm pitch. Without the housing to guide the connection, it won't take a lot to misalign the thing -- a bit of sideways give and the contacts might miss... So, has this PCB-integrated USB-C plug worked in a previous PCB? Or, has the connection been confirmed as good, perhaps via one of those USB-C breakout boards?
