ZIF Connectors

NOTICE: ZIF connectors are fragile. To avoid breaking the connectors, touch them carefully. Do not apply too much pressure to the movable part of the connector when opening or closing it.

Some of the interface connectors are zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors. These connectors are not removable; they must be released to disconnect a cable from them.

To disconnect a cable from a ZIF connector, perform the following steps:

1.Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver, dental pick, or fingernail under the movable part of the connector.

2.Pull up gently on the movable part of the connector until the cable is released. Some ZIF connectors may need to be lifted in the center.

3.Grasp the cable and pull it out of the connector.

To reconnect an interface cable to a ZIF connector, perform the following steps:

1.Open the ZIF connector.

2.Insert the end of the cable into the connector.

3.While holding the cable in place, close the ZIF connector.

To ensure a firm connection, make sure the ZIF connector is completely closed.
