ATA ZIF conectors for hard drives should be mentioned, but I have yet to find a good source, eg is the best doco i have found http://andy.the-broyles.com/blogsphere.nsf/D6Plinks/6VU8SG
Connector Life and amount of insertions should be noted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.110.139.40 (talk) 12:04, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- Rather difficult to achieve. Different sockets for different processors, along with the qaulity of the socket all affect the life of the socket. Rilak (talk) 12:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Are SATA connectors for new Apple Macbooks ZIF?
[edit]The use of ZIF connectors in the Apple iPod is mentioned. Would the connectors used for the SATA connections in the 2011 and 2012 Macbooks count as "ZIF" (and a third connector - I think the display)? Or are they some newer type of connector technology? They are flat, but I wouldn't say they were "zero-force", at least not when inserting them by hand. Perhaps when they are placed by machine and there is no question as to whether it is positioned correctly (x-y), it can be done with "zero force". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimw338 (talk • contribs) 13:58, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
We need the actual names of these connectors! (The standards, or what they are called in the industry.)
[edit]I wanted to find, what those connectors inside smartphones are actually called. And all pages on Wikipedia only ever talk about this subject in a generic manner, never actually naming connector standards. This, and LIF are the closest I could get.
We need a list of those. Namely, all those connecting flexible cables to PCBs. From those with usually orange flat PCB “cables”, that you pull out with a usually blue tab and push in lightly, to the round antenna ones that are officially specced to last only a single insert, release and insert again.
We need some link paths from the generic articles on connectors to those lists, if they don’t contain the list directly. So they can actually be found. Because right now, they might aswell actually already exist… I cannot tell since I gave up after half an hour of looking harder than Sherlock Holmes! :/
