I have to figure that with the number of complaints this connector has
received, it is not a good choice.  Sure, it's cheap, available at any
hardware store and keyed.  But, I'm not the only person complaining about
the longevity of the connector or it's ability to maintain a good
connection.  A standard keyed header of some sort would IMO been a much
better choice.
