Does this include the connector or is it just the board?

Not sure if you found out in the meantime, but it does include the connector soldered onto it.

Any ideas why you say this will take up to 100ma when the rating for an normal usb socket is 500ma?

500mA is the limit in USB 2.0. You're not supposed to draw that much without negotiating with the host that you're a high-speed device.

Of course, everyone does it anyway. :)

?!? 2.0 USB flying pigs huh? blue everyone bridges 500mA apple not lolz random.

So back to trying to address the question... Samtec seems to say that the part itself is good for 1A, so unless SparkFun isn't loving the current-carrying capacity of their tracewidths, I can't figure out where the 100mA comes from either. I was wondering the same thing before I saw your question.

They might be right, or it could be a typo. I'm having a little difficulty believing that 500mA is problem for any reasonable layout and a good/Samtec part, so I'd just go for it. The worst that's (un)likely to happen is that it'll morph into a $1.95 blown fuse.

It does not look like they brought out the ID pin. Why? This is my biggest complaint with all your breakout boards, if you are going through all the trouble of building a breakout board why don't you bring out ALL the pins? I see this issue on the MMC/SD breakouts also which seem to be limited to just the SPI signals and not the full 4bit interface ...DUMB!
