They say "use 0.6 mmm"
replyI've found 0.8mm to make much more reliable connections, since the specification says that the tongue should be 0.7mm. 0.6mm will disconnect if the cable is angled in any way.
replyThat is a very thin PCB. For anyone reading this, 1.6mm is standard.
reply+copper+ENIG is going to make that 0.7mm
replyi wonder how often you can plug/replug the connector in this case. how will the pcb material hold up? with my press-fit or clip-fit (is that a term?) 3d prints, ive noticed that 20 cycles can be sufficient to induce substantial 'loosening'.
replyIt’s likely in the order of 10-30, especially with something like ENIG as a finish. If you wanted more cycles, you’d want to switch to a hard gold finish which would likely increase the cost substantially.
replyThis is truly only for a debug port, not anything else.
Plug an OTG cable in and connect to that, so you don't repeat plug-unplug?
replyWhat about the force transferred by the connector wiggling? I think You'd need a very good mechanical design on the case to make it all work.
replyI don't think it's intended for thousands of mating cycles. It's a "free" standard programming/debugging/recovery/configuration interface.
