They do exist [0][1][2], but they're not really suitable for hobbyist kits either. Due to the pin density they aren't really any easier to solder than SMD.
If I were to design a hobbyist kit, I'd probably just use a breakout board with the USB-C connector already soldered onto it.

- JKCalhoun 3y agoThanks, looking at these 6P connectors, the through-hole mounts ought to make the SMT connectors easy to solder down. I'll pick a few up and try them out on my next PCB project. (Worst case I can pre-solder these to the PCBs in the kits.)
