I have had mixed results using these. I used to service a mini computer
system that had these to connect daughter PCBs in a communications
controller, and they were forever giving us problems. Some would be alright,
and others would fail on a regular basis. I would go in and change the zebra
strips on the faulty ones, do them up to the required torque, and they would
still fail after a while. Eventually the manufacturer changed the style of
zebra strip to one that had a gold plated foil around the outside instead of
the conductive black stuff through the middle, and all the problems went
away.
