I found I had to force this connector on and that it wouldn't seat 
completely.  It appears to be the design of the contacts, which 
completely surround the pin and don't have room for expansion at the 
entry to the contact. I was concerned about stripping the plating on the 
pins after a few cycles.

However, I also bought the KIO2, so now this connector goes into the 
KIO2 connector board and the PC mounted female connector on the KIO2 
connector board has a contact design which doesn't have this problem.
