I'm sure mechanical engineers calculated the entry, insertion distance and wiggle room, so that you can't apply any relevant force onto the notch inside.

- cube00 5y agoWish they had done the same with Micro-USB, those get real flaky after a while.
- mclightning 5y agoThey always do. These things have mechanical physical standards as well as the electronic/software side. Micro-USB requires more force because of its 2 teeth underneath, that's made to latch onto the socket. That was a mistake. In comparison, Mini-USB don't have this problem and slides straight similarly to USB-C in that sense. A lot of thought process goes into this mechanical interaction of male/female plug/sockets. I design/3d printed a lot of mechanical stuff for hobby for some years now. You can't make stuff work without calculating these tolerances. I am sure professionals who work on standards know/do better than me.
