Quick Tip: ZIF Socket Reassembly

preview_player
Показать описание
Just a quick tip for repairing ZIF(zero insertion force) sockets. The socket on my component tester was starting to fail due to bent fingers. You are probably better off replacing the socket but sometimes you don't have the time to wait on a new part.

The tester itself is very handy and I've got the files for the printed stand on Thingiverse.

Excellent! Definite Saturday lifesaver. Mine was cr*p to start with pins rattling loose. I got it apart and back together but I couldn't quite figure out the spring-plate handle assembly til I saw your video. Thanks very much for taking the time.

Thank you for sharing your technique... I got one of those cheap component testers from China and it arrived with the little spring plate in the socket not properly seated and hence the lever wouldn't stay put. Following your instructions it's fixed!

I spent a whole day fighting with this. Don't pull everything apart.

Just take the top piece off. Lay the ZIF socket on the side. Position the top piece a few millimeters apart from the bottom. Use tweezers to pull each individual metal socket into its corresponding slot on the top piece. When everything is slotted in place. Press the top piece down.

Took me a few minutes to do this. Much easier than trying to line up all 28 pins at once.

Nice video. Unfortunately it's not applicable when it's a 28 pin socket soldered to a board which has plate-through holes. 😕

why don't they put a ic-socket underneath the zif socket. so that one can easily replace one without having to de-solder it.. i just bought the GM328A

The ceramic tweezers are better for electronics. Thank you for presentation!
