To build on that, you can also secure the USB-C connector with a small dab of epoxy or locktite. Many devices I've pulled apart put a dab of epoxy on connectors to secure them so it's a known technique. A small dab still lets a technician break it if need be for repairs.
- dheera 7y agoThe USB-C connector is surface-mounted, so that makes it super easy to be torqued off by the massive cantilever that is the USB-C plug. I regularly have entire connectors ripped off PCBs but that has never happened with cheap, industrial connectors like the various ones Molex produces (and they're dirt cheap). Molex has very sturdy through-hole power connectors as well as plugs that are lower profile and won't torque off the connector as easily. 2-pin Mini-Fit Jr. would work pretty well. Or XT30 even. I love XT30 connectors.
