Abstract
A ZIF connector (10) includes a base (303), a cover (100) and an actuation device (200) wherein a rotation bar of the actuation device (200) includes at least an engagement slot (215) for receiving an external tool (30) therein to actuate the cover (100) with the attached CPU (20) thereon to move back-and-forth and thus to engage or disengage the pins of the CPU component with or from the corresponding contacts of the socket connector (10) whereby such external tool (30) may be removed from the engagement slot (215) after the movement of the cover (100), and therefore no lever of the actuation device is required, thus saving the available space on the PC board on which the connector is mounted.
