Similar things happen with PCMCIA cards. The connector design on PCMCIA cards is just awful in that male pins are in the receptacle/PC. If you accidentally clog one of the holes on the PCMCIA cards connector and plug it into a receptacle it will bend the pin over.
- tropo 11y agoMale pins on the card would fail just the same way, plus they'd also get more damage from being exposed. The only upside would be easier repair and, in most cases, cheaper replacement. The correct fix would be pins with a better length/width ratio.
