I do like the idea of just using big wires. It’d be so much cleaner and simpler. Also using 24 or 48V would be nice, but that’d be an even bigger departure from current designs.

My point is that the PCB is where such features would be present, not the connector. There are connectors that have fusing. The UK’s AC power plugs are examples of them. The connectors inside PCs are not.
- Gracana 1y agoOh, sure, I’m not proposing that the connector itself should have those features, rather that it shouldn’t be used without them present on the device.
