Why do phone chargers break where they only work on one side?
In: 3
Are you referring to the fact that the “charger cable” side of things break significantly more often the “phone side” jack?
If so, it’s designed like that… common plugs for low voltage are all designed so the cable side breaks easier in the event of excessive force than the (more expensive) device side (or charger brick)
A great example is HDMI, where the cables are designed to snap and save the inlet side.
UsbA, MicroUSB (as we all know) and even DC barrel jacks (lol) all designed this way
