The PCBs for the micro-USB version arrived:

Some notes:

Now, speaking about the thickness of the connector, it seems to be on the edge of acceptable. The first insertion requires a bit of force and leaves marks on the contacts:

This seems to be mostly to the thickness added by the HASL process of coating the contacts with solder. I hope that removing the pad from the other side will improve the situation here.

Speaking of the board thickness, I also made some 0.8mm PCBs for the USB-C version, and it does sit in the plug much better, while still not being too tight, so that is the preferred thickness for that kind of connector for me.
