16 days agoWhat is the scam? A thing no one asked for that breaks out new component level monitoring… I smell a ‘protect the children’ type malevolence.
USB-C is hot garbage for high power applications though. That pin pitch (tiny copper trace size) and the trace routing with inversion is awful for hardware design. It is like placing a fuse or power resistor between the PCB and connector. It gets hot in those 3mm of a tiny wisp of a wire, and power is super close to the other pins. So it cooks every bit of oily hand grime shoved in with the plug over time. The pin pitch is so terrible, you can’t even order the spec required from the base price level of any board house like PCB way. You have to pay a lot more for a higher precision etching process.
