Won't charge anymore after extensive daily use

[Kreyren]

I've been using my teres every day since i got it and now i have to angle the charging port in weird ways for it to have contact and charge..

The issue is only on the male side so i just cut the cable and spliced a new connector with WAGO, but it's still pretty annoying..

Proposing for the next version to use more robust one

We also replace these connectors on the test computers from time to time. They indeed start to expire after around 1000 times plugging and unplugging.

So USB-C next? Or is there any more rugged connector you can recommend? (making a new PCB for teres so brainstorm would help)

I use SAE 12v and IDE 12/5v.

I think with regard to ruggedness the key is to figure out how to get stress to load the casing rather than solder joints or contacts.
