The KIM-1 needs 2 edge connectors.
The specifications are: card edge; PIN: 44; 3.96mm
When you search for those, the cheap ones pop up, Chinese made, look good. But they are no good, when you slide them one you need a lot of force, some even use a hammer!
The PCB is too thick for these connectors, you damage the edge fingers and can not change once connected.
DO NOT USE THEM for a KIM-1!
I had some luck, years ago I bough a lot, cable type (solder eyelets) from Conrad and they are perfect for the KIM-1.
