More resistant case.....needed

Postby JPYZFR1 » Sun Jul 06, 2014 1:42 pm

After 4 months of using the micro usb female SMT Socket Connector broke by accident. I had bought a bottom angle micro usb cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/310712144379?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D310712144379%26_rdc%3D1 to avoid putting pressure on the connector.However using this cable, the connector broke.
Maybe a more resistant case will be appropriate to avoid such kind of damage.

One of the solder points of the microConnector is too small. Its breaks at all loads.
Cut your microCable and solder onto the onboard pins like picture below.
