Zbitx power cord connector

 

Device manufacturers typically install the cheapest available components. If someone is bothered by the quality of the component, they will replace it with the one that suits them best!
This is just my opinion.

The cable provided with the zBitx has a connector on the end which I would describe as a "crab claw" contact to mate with the female connector center pin. In my opinion, I would say the "claws" would be prone to spreading if you wiggle the connector until?it becomes loose. In my mind a much more reliable approach would be to use?a?full 360 degree "tube/barrel" to make GOOD contact with the center pin in the female connector. There are plenty of 5.5mm x 2.1mm plug cable pigtails out there which do just that. They work great.

This is unfortunate. We actually ordered a die to be made for this connector!

My plug failed on like the third start. I ordered this and they transmit power fine (one to replace the failed plug and one for the power supply), but they’re slightly longer. A very small o-ring would take up the space if that’s a concern.?
