I recently purchased a solar panel, Adafruit #1525, a solar charger, Adafruit #4755, and an adaptor cable Adafruit #2788, as recommended.
I recieved teh cable, and it does not fit the male connector on teh solar panel. Which size is incorrect? Then panel, or the cable?
Please specify the cable I SHOULD have bought, or send me one with the correct size connector. The large end that goes into the charger seems to fit just fine.

Re: adaptor does not fit
okay, it fit!
Thanks, I applied a lot of pressure before, but, I guess not enough.

Re: adaptor does not fit
I just received a 200 Solar panel and (2) 2788 adapter cables.
I am sorry but the solar panel connector will not fit in the adapter cable.
Reading this forum, I applied a large amount of additional force. I still could not force the solar panel connector into the adapter cable. I am concerned that any additional force will break the center pin on the adapter cable jack, or damage the solar panel plug.
I purchased (2) adapter cables to allow me to connect to different solar panels. I don't think a forced connection can be reliably made multiple times (maybe not more than once).
Thanks,
Brian

Re: adaptor does not fit
Are you having trouble with the two adapter cables and have you tried them on different panel plugs?
