ZIF connectors (Zero Insertion Force) are able to be used everywhere, where connecting without tools and high retaining forces are required in limited spaces. W+P offers zero force connectors with its 5566 and 5577 series. Their low pitch of 0.5 and 1.0mm and the low design height of 1.2 and 2.0mm are notable. These connectors also feature a locking option in the rear area. A special folding mechanism, which is similar to a piano cover, simplifies handling and saves space part on the PCB, in contrast to a front locking mechanism.  This ensures a stable and durable connection, which is still able to be released. As a complement to this, W+P offers a corresponding flexible cable in its 599 series.
