Why are so many components mounted on a ZIF socket?
- OJFord 6y agoThat is really weird, is there any reason to use them other than repeated removal/reinsertion? (Hence found on chip programmers, component testers, etc.)
- sergpanarin 6y agoZIFs are on our test board for our breadboards kit schematics – they are used (as you have mentioned) to insert/remove chips for testing. And fast check of ROM firmware for it's updates. So we've built a test PCB board to test fast our chips and schematics.
- mulmen 6y agoThe actual kit seems to be on breadboards so maybe that's just a development thing? I'm confused though, they mention breadboards but also custom PCBs? Not sure what this kit actually is.
