Hello,
For a PCB I'm working on I'm considering attaching a rp2040-zero from Waveshare flush with the PCB itself. This entails making a cutout the same size as the rp2040-zero in the PCB and soldering the microcontroller to the copper pads found along the cutout. The PCB I'm basing my design on places the pico on top of the PCB increasing the height which is undesirable for my design concept.
Are there any design considerations that I should be worried about in ensuring a strong and safe connection to the PCB while also retaining a flush look to the pcb?
Some additional context:
I'm ordering from JLCPCB, so I am giving the cutout a .2mm extra length to compensate for the ±0.2mm tolerance.
Waveshare rp2040-zero dimensions and specifics can be found in the link.
