type-c-recessed

My simple solution of bringing USB Type-C power receptacles flush into circuit boards, thus allowing for beautiful faceplates and PCB based user interfaces.

An aluminium extrusion cage with a lens and light source inside, projecting “Kein Mensch ist Illegal” onto a black surface. At the back of the frame is a black PCB with an artsy white silkscreen print. Four pink studs hold it in place. An USB cable leaves the PCB vertically, it leads into a power bank. There is a turnable knob on the board as well. There is a plant in the top right corner of the frame Closeup of the USB-C receptacle with no cable plugged in. Its opening is recessed in the board, the connector is otherwise invisible. There is a green terminal connector to the left. The board has a lot of ray-like printed structures, a beaker with an orange substance is blurred in the background
Closeup of the backside of the PCB, showing the mechanical connection of the USB-C vertical connector. It is soldered down with three large fillets. It is a very small PCB, hosting the receptacle on its back side Top down photo of the backside, the USB-C receptacle is also soldered down on this side with two fillets, the board hosting the connector also hosts two resistors

notes

If you want to use this solution, please get the designfiles in the 'hardware files/' folder produced, add a 6-Pin USB-C power only connector and two 5.1k 1% resistors to each board. If neccessary, please also add a 4.7uF cap to the back of each board.
