Input Module Adapter
This is a simple USB-C adapter to use and develop Input Modules outside of a Framework Laptop 16. Note that the actual pogo pin connector is a custom Framework part. We originally created this to enable Input Module development ahead of Framework Laptop 16 shipments starting. Now that Framework Laptop 16 has been available for a few years, this design is mostly for reference for anyone who wants to build projects around Input Modules.

Assembly and Fabrication
We recommend using a 0.8mm PCB for this due to the specific USB-C connector we selected (for hand-solderability). To make Input Modules attach to the adapter, you can glue in 5mm x 2mm cylindrical magnets or glue on 5mm x 5mm x 1.2mm square magnets. You can use 6mm M2 fasteners as the alignment pins.
