There is springiness, the pins are pressed by underside by small rubber blocks. Indeed it is very similar. The difference is that I mount a complete jig, where the board is fitted and secured to the jig. I use this method for batch production to speed the programming and testing, when the batch size pays for the trouble of making the jig. With the right tools we can make a jig in 20 minutes.
