The second type of insertion is LIF, or low insertion force; also known as non-ZIF. This type of connector relies on the contacts to retain the flex cable after it is inserted. As a result there is some effort to insert the cable into a LIF style connector. This also means that a LIF connector will offer fewer mating cycles than a comparable ZIF product. However, because there is no actuator required, the application process is somewhat simplified. FCI makes 0.3mm connectors with two types of contacts (ZIF and non ZIF). If both types of contacts are in the connector then it is a non ZIF connector. If only ZIF type contacts are in the connector then it is a ZIF connector.
