I always felt those "pin" connectors were as cheesy as they get, yet we use them in the most sophisticated and cannot fail circumstances. I am so used to the way my dad hooked up his HAM gear and worked on his electrical hobbies in the 60's and 70's. He spent a great deal of time teaching me how important a good soldered connection was. The danger of the cold solder joint. Good connections were always very important. You think we could come up with something better.
