Summary of the Samtec ZIF Connector Datasheet
The datasheet provides detailed information on the Samtec’s Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connectors, with the product code ZFI-XX-XX-XX-WT-XX. Designed for applications requiring low insertion and extraction forces, these connectors are suitable for a range of positions, listed as 04 through 30, ensuring compatibility with various configurations. The datasheet highlights the availability of the connectors in different lead styles, notably the bottom contact (-01), top contact (-02) and, as of revision P, the top entry style (-03) is limited to existing customers only.
Key Features
The ZIF connectors are designed with a pitch given in both inches and millimeters, ensuring precision and adherence to international measurements, with 1 position = 0.03937 inches (1.00 mm). They offer a choice of plating specifications including pure tin with a matte finish. The dimensional information specifies critical distances and tolerances, indicated for various sections and orientations of the connector (i.e., with cam open and closed), covering max flash and gate vestige tolerances.
Materials and Particulars
Constructed from high-quality materials, the housing of the ZIF connectors utilizes LCP 301 with a 94-V2 flammability rating and natural color. The cam slider is made from PPS DS 94-V2 in black, and contact weld tabs are comprised of phosphor bronze. Notable cautions include not scaling from the drawing and observing burr allowance and coplanarity, which includes tails and weld tabs.
Packaging and Compliance
Packaging details for various lead styles provide specific instructions, ensuring the position #1 is loaded in the same direction as indicated by an arrow on the tube. This ensures consistency and compliance with handling requirements. The given contact pushout force and weld tab retention ensure reliability and avoid unintended disconnections.
