Yeah, you need a 0.8mm thick PCB, but everyone can do that now (JLCPCB and oshpark both do it for the same price as a regular 1.6mm board). Here's a footprint: https://github.com/jmgao/PCB-USB-C


You can also do this with thicker PCBs (2.4 or 2mm, nominal 2.235mm, 1.6mm works with a good USB cable or a shim) to form a USB-A male connector, eg:

I need photos to understand this, including one where a cable is connected to it

Wow that’s crazy


Very cool!


Awesome


Sweet, I will consider that next time I need something USB-like, thanks!


Oh my god this is incredible! And it has the full pinout so you can use debug accessory mode!

Game changing!
