  • Publication number: 20060110968
    Abstract: A ZIF connector includes a cover movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, being moved by movement of an actuator having a flexible tab attached to facilitate movement of the lever. In the engaged position, pins of an integrated circuit mounted in the ZIF connector are held in engagement with terminals within the connector. When the actuator is moved toward the disengaged position by pulling the flexible tab, the pins are released for removal of the integrated circuit from the connector. The tab may be formed from a portion of adhesive tape.
