The ZW-08-20-S interconnect from Samtec is a through-hole board stacker header designed for reliable electrical connections between multiple PCBs. These headers are particularly useful in multi-layer printed circuit board assemblies, such as those found in industrial control panels, medical devices, and test equipment. If you're working on projects that require robust, high-reliability connections between boards, these interconnects are a solid choice.

One thing worth noting is the ZW-08-20-S’s versatility. It supports a wide range of pin counts and configurations, making it adaptable to various design requirements. Engineers tend to reach for this when they need a straightforward, no-nonsense solution for stacking boards together in a way that ensures consistent signal integrity and mechanical stability. Another practical benefit is its ability to handle both signal and power transmission, which simplifies the overall design and reduces the need for additional components.
