I've generally not had much success using a wire-wrap socket to plug a
daughterboard into an existing socket. Unless the posts on this one are quite
thin, they won't fit into the socket on the board.
That means you might have to desolder the existing socket and solder pins of
the wire-wrap socket directly to the board in its place. This is a more
secure mount but means the daughterboard can't be removed.
In the past, I've seen sockets designed for this purpose that have
machine-tooled pins. I don't have a current source for these but if anyone
else does, I would be interested in hearing about it.
