Step 6Fixing the Connector
It's a good idea to add some solder to the pads of the connector. This makes it more resistant to wear and tear.
Ideally you want 2.4mm thick PCB material, but apparently this costs extra, so the default 1.6mm was used. The USB connector needs to be thicker than 1.6mm so green electrical tape was applied to the back of the connector to add some thickness to it. See above diagram for my technique for applying the tape.
