MACHINED ZIF ENCLOSURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
more design flexibility for military and industrial users
of circuit board retainers. The ZIF retainer can now be
machined directly into the chassis or coldwall without the
need for brazing. This manufacturing breakthrough
improves chassis producibility, adds structural integrity
and provides the best thermal performance of any
retainer available.
of 18 fins per inch without brazing. The MACHINED
ZIF technology provides up to 45% more heat transfer
capability than conventional wedge style retainers.
enhances product maintainability and never requires a
torque wrench when engaging.
NOTE:
of one of many special configurations CTS can tailor make
meeting customers’ critical design specifications.
