    This connector is possibly ok. But really they should have put two on instead of running one at its limits.

      I haven’t followed the recent failures but the earlier failures were iirc caused by improper .

      The connector should be redesigned to make something like that impossible. For example the connector shouldn’t click if it’s not fully inserted and the sense pins should be shorter as not to deliver current until full insertion.

      IIRC it’s also pretty damn fragile and slight stress on the connector can start fires.
