Whatever is plopped down on those style connectors still needs to have those pressure causing retainer lips removed, that pressure that breaks the trace off the board is relentless. That relatively large pin and its socket in the header, have more than enough grip to retain it on anything but a mutant, bring down the walls at Jerico, paint shaker. If thats the environment, drill a hole for a tie-wrap to loop around it for a retainer. Where they were used in that nearly 40yo HiGain 623, there was a slotted micarta bar over the top of the daughter boards that would have withstood that paint shaker. There were of coarse other things that would not have survived, but that "card cage" without the actual cage would have.
