28 Pin ZIF Socket Description
ZIF stands for "Zero Insertion Force". A ZIF socket is a prototyping aid and a very handy one at that. ZIF sockets
are commonly used on PIC programming devices, for IC testing, or to simplify circuit development anywhere that frequent changing of a DIP (Dual In-line Package) integrated circuit (IC) chip
is required.
ZIF socket operation: Move the small spring loaded lever in one direction (up) and the electrical contacts at the top of the
ZIF socket open up to allow "drop in" insertion of a DIP IC chip. Then move the lever in the other direction (down) to close the ZIF socket contacts on the IC legs to make
temporary electrical connections to all of the legs of the IC. Returning the lever to the former position will re-open the ZIF socket contacts to release the IC from the ZIF socket.
ZIF socket construction: The bottom of the ZIF socket has solid conductive pins (in this case 28 of them) that fit in a
standard 28pin, 600mil (width) IC footprint. Press fit the ZIF socket onto prototyping bread board SD24N or
prototyping bread board SD35N or solder it onto circuit boards wherever a 28 pin 600mil IC footprint will fit.
Also available: 40 pin ZIF sockets .
The electrical contacts on the top of the 28 pin ZIF socket are extra wide. This allows the 28 pin ZIF socket to accept insertions
of all DIP package IC's ranging from standard 300mil width's or those that are 600mil wide*.
*Will accept insertion of 4pin, 8pin, 14pin, 16pin, 18pin, 20pin, 24pin, and 28pin IC's - 300mil to 600mils wide. The pitch
of the IC leads must be 0.1 inch apart. (100mil lead pitch)
