like you, i preffer the first way (A) - without the U-shape, because i like to
connect my GPS sometimes to my PC or to the car.

but i had to learn, what the manual means with "..kaputt.."

My first connector get broken after some time (Mayby 100 connect-disconnects)

You have to dismount the connector very carefully
this means - take it off in only one direction - just pull the connector - dont
put it up und down than i think it will take longer to make it "..kaputt.."
