It certainly did! If I'm not mistaken, you can press your connector all the way home, until the plastic contacts the circuit board. When releasing it, the spring pins will push everything away from the board, but that movement should be as little as possible. My initial prototype traveled too much and became intermittent.

Another advantage of your idea is that it is impossible to compress the pins to their limits. They will all be exerting approximately the same force.

My popsicle stick and rubber band idea would never have worked...
