REFERENCE INFORMATION Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket is a socket type used on motherboards for processors and other chips. Unlike the LIF socket, little pressure is needed to seat a chip into a ZIF socket, and a special tool or screwdriver is not required to remove a chip from a ZIF socket. The ZIF socket was designed to reduce the risk of accidentally bending a pin (or whole row of pins) on an expensive processor when seating the chip into a socket.
