What are the key features of ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120?

  • 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch Flex Stack design enables flexible board-to-board stacking with custom tail lengths for variable stack heights
  • Phosphor bronze contacts with matte tin over nickel finish provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance for industrial environments
  • Vertical single-row header configuration simplifies PCB layout while supporting mechanical board-to-board alignment in stacked assemblies

What is ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 used for?

The ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 is designed for flexible board stacking applications in industrial controllers, embedded computing platforms, and modular instrumentation where variable stack height is required. Its 0.100" pitch and custom tail length allow adaptation to different inter-board spacing without requiring custom PCB redesign. This Flex Stack connector is commonly used in prototyping systems, evaluation boards, and multi-tier embedded modules where adjustable board separation is a key mechanical requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and body dimensions does the ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 board stacking connector use?

The ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with a body length of 1.000" and body depth of 0.320". The 0.1" pitch is a widely adopted standard that ensures compatibility with a large ecosystem of mating receptacles and board-to-board stacking systems, and the 1-inch body length accommodates the connector's pin count in a conventional through-hole or surface mount footprint.

What contact material and finish does ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 use, and how does this affect reliability?

The ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 uses phosphor bronze contacts with matte tin over nickel (50 micro-inches nickel barrier) finish. Phosphor bronze provides good spring force retention for reliable contact pressure over time, while the tin over nickel finish offers corrosion resistance and acceptable contact resistance for low-cycle board stacking applications. This finish is suitable for environments with moderate humidity and temperature cycling, typical of industrial control enclosures operating between -40°C and +85°C.

How does the custom tail feature of ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 enable flexible board stack configurations?

The custom tail of the ZW-10-09-T-S-320-120 refers to a specially tailored pin length below the connector body that sets the inter-board spacing in a stacked assembly. With a tail depth of 0.320" specified in the part number, designers can achieve precise board-to-board separation without adding mechanical spacers, simplifying the bill of materials for modular embedded systems and reducing total stack height variability across production units that use this Flex Stack 0.100" connector series.
