Wolfgang,

After looking at the pictures I have a question. Are these connectors mounted to the PCB with
90 degree leads? If so the only way to get the sort of "tilt" showing is if the leads have
been bent.

In any case the fact that the connectors may "fit" does not alter the fact that they will
still transfer stress and strains not designed for. These additional stresses could shorten
the lije of the solder joints plus the change internally between the male/female interface
can cause unusual wear on the gold plating.

If this is a class 3 product fix it and argue about whose fault it is later.
