I bought a female cigarette socket to connect the USB car adapter that came with the dash cam. It seemed the metal point at the center inside the female socket was not high enough to touch the metal tip of the USB car adapter.
I thought it was the problem of the female connector, I went to another store and bought a different brand of the female socket, and it was the same problem.
Now, I thought it was the original USB car adapter problem, I switched another one, and I still could not get the metal tip from the usb car adapter touching the metal center point inside the female socket. The only solution that I could get the power to connect each other was forcing to push the usb car adapter to the female socket without releasing my hands.
Do you guys have this problem as well? I think there is at least 1 to 2mm gap in between. Do you guys have any suggestions?
The female socket that I bought was similar to this one and this was the only one that I could buy local in some retail stores :
