They're just about the worse connectors I've ever found. Why they chose
to use a connector for SCART that looks like it came from a kid's Duplo
set, I don't know. Wobbly edge-connectors in Sinclair Spectrums were
better, even.


The problem is not so much with the connector but with the over stiff
cables often used. If you must use such a stiff cable you really need a
locking connector, such as the standard D types. Ribbon cable type ones
are ok as they are much more flexible.

Plenty of similar flat pin connectors around.
