CTS ® GENERAL DESCRIPTION DESIGN FEATURES ZIF III retainers are the latest in the state-of-theart PC board mountable retainers. Unlike other designs on the market, CTS’s ZIF III features a quick, quarter-turn locking mechanism that provides for a positive and fast assembly. Its unique locking design produces a uniform pressure distribution along the PCB edge for the absolute best heat transfer and resistance to extreme shock and vibration. It will not warp your circuit boards unlike some others available in the market. If you have high density PC board mounting applications for military, space, medical, industrial controls, computers and communications, you need ZIF III Circuit Board Retainers.
