Samtec jack screw standoff, part number JSOM-0515-01, is recommended by Samtec to be used as mechanical support in its board-to-board (B2B) connector assembly. This JSOM type standoff protects connectors from over mechanical stresses during mating and de-mating assembly.

See the note about the Samtec REF-226081 alternative mating connector.
A recommended best practice is to put board-to-board alignment arrows on your carrier card silkscreen to aid in the orientation of the SOM to carrier card. It is important to check the connector alignment key positions before gently pressing down to fully engage the B2B connectors.
