Abstract
A zero insertion force (ZIF) connector can include a connector housing defining an opening and an interior space for receiving a mating member, multiple LIGA springs positioned within the interior space and configured to apply pressure to the mating member while in a first position, and a locking component to cause the LIGA springs to move to a second position responsive to a user pressing the locking component. The LIGA springs do not apply pressure to the mating member while in the second position.
