As described, two possibilities:
1) Your cable or plug is damaged/contaminated. Try using a different (known good) cable. If the plug has visible contaminants, you can gently clean the plug with a dry lint-free cloth. Do not use any liquids.
2) The connector on the iPad is damaged - or the port may have dirt or other contamination present. If the iPad has a Lightning connector, use the tip of a sharpened wooden toothpick (or other non-metallic material) and a good light to gently dislodge any foreign material from the Lightning connector; take extreme care to avoid damage to the delicate electrical pins that you’ll find on one side of the socket connector.
