GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DESIGN FEATURES
ZIF retainers are mounted to any flat metal surface
The ZIF retainer is a totally self-contained, precision
A ZIF retainer consists of:
(1) an aluminum housing
(2) a rod/cam assembly constructed from an aluminum
(3) a beryllium copper spring

The unique design and interchangeability of like parts make field repairs quick and simple. Repairs
The locking operation which secures the PCB in the ZIF retainer requires only a 1/4 turn of the
Uniform clamping pressure eliminates hot spots along the PCB interface producing an even
distribution of heat along the entire edge.
ZIF component parts are designed to assure consistent performance and interchangeability of
all identical part numbers.
ZIF characteristics are unaffected by adverse environments typically encountered in military
and industrial applications.
