Hi,
The broken DC connector on the EVAL-ADAU1452MINIZ is troubling. The connector on the board is a Switchcraft RAPC722, we have used these for many years and have not had any complaints. I apologize that you had trouble, thank you for replacing it. We hand test each board before it ships, so something must have happened en route. Can you take a photograph of the connector and post it?
Regards,
Coleman
