What is a ZIF connector?
I'm glad to answer it for you. The earliest application of ZIF PCB connector was limited to the standard plug-in system, as a means to use a larger circuit board to meet more input/output connection requirements, or just to reduce the insertion force. However, it didn't take long for the Ministry of Electronics Industry to extend the application of this ZIF connector to a new plug-in technology and use it as a guide device for printed circuit boards. Plug-in system has opened up new uses, provided greater design initiative for system design engineers, and reduced the cost of the whole system. The connector allows all four sides of the printed circuit board to be used for connecting input/output circuits. An improved ZIF connector with "sequential action" characteristics has been successfully designed, which will make ZIF printed board connector more valuable in various systems in the future. ZIF literally means zero insertion force. It is generally called sequential action without plugging and unplugging force (editor's note). Zif connectors can be described as connectors containing two or more groups, which are closed and disconnected in a predetermined order. Another feature of this new sequential ZIF connector is that it can not only prevent the inserted printed circuit board from shaking, but also prevent the contacts from closing when the printed circuit board is in an inappropriate position. I hope my answer can help you. Remember to adopt it. Thank you.
