You could probably crimp the contacts onto #24 or #22 busbar wire (tinned
solid copper) which would allow you to solder them to the board. The
proper crimper for these type of contacts is essential and an older model
AMP crimp tool is not terribly expensive second hand/surplus if you have
time to wait for one to turn up.

J3 is a 2x10 pin 2.54mm connector which is still common
today.
But it is higher than the usual connectors. It has a hight of 1.5cm. If you
search for the printed A-MP number (1-87456-6), you'll find the housing,
but not the soldered clips used inside this housing....
