I see no Friction bumps, Locking ramps, Latches or Clips on these connectors. Other than contact friction, what retention mechanism is there to ensure that the mating connectors remain inserted into these IDC Headers?

Hi Sr.
The mating connectors are tight fitting, so, even though they are secured by pure friction (and a little bit of pressure), the connectors will stay in their place under normal circumstances. I am familiar with the connectors for this device, and to be honest, it is harder to take them out of place than making them stay.
Thanks
