dgriffith,

Eh? You’ve got your thoughts backwards on the pins.

The inside of a USB C socket is simply a central tang. The inside of a USB C plug has the flex pins that grip said tang and provide the electrical connection. The USB plug, on the cable, is designed to wear out before the socket and it’s easily replaced.

The issue however is that some manufacturers skimp on the mechanical mounting of the socket on their device and flexing of the connector + socket damages its connection to the board.

Funnily enough, lightning connectors are designed the other way around with the components that wear out inside the expensive device. How strange…But that’s coming from a company that doesn’t even want to make a robust covering for the wires in their cables.
