  • INTEGRATED CONNECTOR PORT MODULE
    Publication number: 20230378670
    Abstract: A connector port module and a method of manufacturing the same. The connector port module includes a circuit board, with a connector having a plurality of connector pads formed on the circuit board configured to electrically connect to a mating connector. At least one via hole is formed in the circuit board for reinforcing the physical integrity and the heat diffusivity of the circuit board. The connector port module is capable of supporting Universal Serial Bus (USB) (e.g. USB-C) and Thunderbolt 3 connectors. The method includes: providing a circuit board; forming a plurality of connector pads on the circuit board configured to electrically connect to a mating connector; and forming at least one via hole for reinforcing physical integrity of the circuit board.
