MACHINED ZIF ENCLOSURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MACHINED ZIF represents a step forward in providing
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.
Fin pins can be machined to .012 inches with a pitch
of 18 fins per inch without brazing. The MACHINED
ZIF technology provides up to 45% more heat transfer
capability than conventional wedge style retainers.
The MACHINED ZIF 1/4 turn locking feature
enhances product maintainability and never requires a
torque wrench when engaging.

of one of many special configurations CTS can tailor make
meeting customers’ critical design specifications.

DESIGN FEATURES
■ _{QUICK LOCKING ACTION}
The locking operation that secures the PCB in the
ZIF retainer requires only a 1/4 turn of the rod
assembly.
■ _{UNIFORM HEAT TRANSFER}
Uniform clamping pressure eliminates hot spots along
the PCB interface producing an even distribution of
heat along the entire edge.
■ _{COMPLETE INTERCHANGEABILITY}
ZIF component parts are designed to assure consistent
performance and interchangeability of all identical
part numbers.
■ _{OPERATING ENVIRONMENT}
MACHINED ZIF characteristics are unaffected
by adverse environments typically encountered
in military and industrial applications.
■ _{VISUAL INDICATION}
ZIF provides a visual indication that the rods are
in the “open” or “closed” position relative to the
position of the drive assembly. This indication
can be painted yellow upon request.
■ _{MAINTAINABILITY}
The unique design and interchangeability of the like
parts make field repairs quick and simple. Repairs can
be accomplished without the use of any special tools.
