Agree, solder cups at the back would definitely be easier to solder to than pins.
(If you were looking at the connector I sent a link to before, I just picked a random one to show you the part number on the top. I did not mean to imply that we should use either male or female connector)
Normally when building stuff like this I would use a female connector on the cable as it carries power and it is more difficult to short compared to pin connector.
Off-topic question, have you "freed" your sensor from the aluminium holder yet? I just noticed on Martin Raabe's page (your link few posts up) that he machined the aluminium to get the sensor out.
