ZDNET's John Sutter has shared his favorite USB-C magnetic breakaway connectors, which can save your laptop's charging port. The $5 connectors were recommended after a friend of a friend brought over their car with a broken USB port, causing it to break. The car dealership charged over $100 in diagnostic fees and the replacement part was initially delayed for several weeks. Sutter found a replacement port online for $30 and installation took only minutes. The connectors are also versatile for portable power stations and handheld gaming consoles. They can handle 240W without overheating and can be used for low-speed applications. The only limitation of this connector is its 480Mbps data throughput.
