Not to be that guy, but the USB-C specification requires an extraction force of 8–20 N for a new connector, measured on the sixth unplugging cycle after five conditioning cycles. After 10,000 insertion/removal cycles, the permitted range is 6–20 N.
Equivalent hanging mass:
8 N is 0.82 kg
20 N is 2.04 kg
So the problem you have is likely one of your manufacturer not producing equipment suitable to pass the USB-C spec.
As an aside, the specified extraction force for USB A is:
10 N minimum when new
8 N minimum after durability cycling
So pretty much the same, in some cases even less.
I don't have problems with USB-C connectors per se. I think HDMI is worse in terms of durability.
- breezybottom 3mo agoWell it's a common manufacturer problem then, because USB-C connections are universally floppy and loose.
