Today I received the USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 Physical layer interface EVM, the TPS65982. I'm sorry, to say that I think someone must have lost their mind when they selected the connector from HELL! The Foxconn JPD1135-509-7F.
Future is listed as the distributor in the US for this connector. It doesn't show up in their system, So,... finding a mating connector is going to be a big problem.
Why would you design a board, that appears to be quite capable othewise, with such a poor choice for a primary power connector? At the very least TI owes it to their customers to provide a mating connector, because they are sure as hell not going to find it, or buy it anywhere.
This connector is coming off and going in the trash!
