SwissMicros Announces DM41X Launch

Good advice about keeping your own charger, and interesting to hear the feedback from others.

My original point was 'nothing beats cubic inches' as they used to say in the Harley Hog days.
The Type C has 0.5mm pin spacing instead of the standard USB 2.5mm..

Hence all the advice on the Net about using compressed air to keep debris out of the tiny socket pins.

Here's one engineer's reasoned take:

"On the 24 pin USB-C interface connector 4 pins are assigned to the +5V supply and 4 pins are assigned to the GND/return. The maximum current delivered by this port is 3A. This means that the port is rated to deliver a maximum of 15 watts. If the current is equally divided among 4 pins, each pin carries 750 mA. That is indeed a rather high current density for such small pins but in practice, since no revision of the standard has been issued, it is reasonable to assume that this high current density has not proven to be an issue.
Admittedly, this high current density does not seem to be consistent with conservative design practices and it is possible that in practice, few applications require anywhere near the full 15W rated power."

Whether Brussels was right to jump on this bandwagon is an existential question.
Neither the UK or the USA are following their lead. The Swiss will do their own thing as always.
