Arduino Stacking Headers

I tried using wire wrap receptacles for an Arduino daughterboard and found that the insertion force was way too high for reliable usage. The alternative I found is Samtech Part numbers ESQ-108-14-T-S and ESQ-106-14-T-S. Unfortunately, only Arrow seems to stock them. Perhaps I'll carry them when I get the online store up and running.



These connectors work much better then the wirewrap sockets.
