The RZ family of high-density, board-to-board or flex circuit
stacking applications is unique, offering users a reliable
one-piece contact system. Its solder-less interconnect is
compressed or “sandwiched” under pressure between parallel
printed wiring boards or between a printed wiring board and
other electronic components such as an IC or multichip module.
