It would be cool to have a USB C connector that goes through the PCB so total height is that of the connector and not board+connector. Like this one: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5180?srsltid=AfmBOopEIapZEq... But with supports along the sides that could solder one the top and/or bottom of the PCB. You'd have a notch cut out for the connector. | ||

It is. rather it's even smaller, it simply has the inner part of a usb c connector - exactly the thickness of the pcb similar to https://github.com/cnlohr/ch32v003_3digit_lcd_usb/ | ||

In the implementation, the design uses a 'card edge' type connector with the whole PCB fitting into the constraint of the thickness of the center blade of the USB-C connector. So when charging, the board slots into the cable-end connector, and when not charging there is only the PCB. The PCB has cut-outs for the cable-end connector to fit into the PCB -- so like you're saying, but even thinner. | ||

Thought the same but from what I can see those are somewhat uncommon, presumably you are unable to affix them to the board as securely as the typical connectors | ||

The images in the GitHub show that the card has this. | ||
