@transistor yeah it’s just a really hard to manufacture design, I get why they are that expensive. That’s why I think they should have come up with something that’s designed for easier manufacturing, reducing the cost.

The insertion cycles don’t really matter to me. I’m much more likely to loose or accidentally break a debug tool like this than to wear it all the way down. I think the insertion cycle spec of SKEDD is limited by the PCB, not the connector.
