Hi Phil,
High vibration/shock environments may be an issue if the connector leads are 
stiff and the connector body with plug-in is heavy; high usage/insertion 
forces may be an issue if the connector body is not properly staked; cyclic thermal 
expansion mismatch between connector body and PCB can lead to solder joint 
failures.
