ZIF is an acronym for Zero Insertion Force. ZIF sockets are locking mounts for electronic circuits or chips that allow them to be changed easily with less possibility of damaging the fragile pins. The zero insertion force socket is an important innovation used to protect an IC from being damaged during insertion or from frequent removal and reinsertion from a socket
Features:
- ZIF is an acronym for Zero Insertion Force.
- Used to protect an IC from being damaged.
- Most ZIF sockets are handle-actuated; you can easily lift the handle, drop the chip into the socket, and then close the handle.
- Microchips are implanted just under the skin, usually right between the shoulder blades.
