Low insertion force (LIF) is a technology used in integrated circuit sockets that are designed so the force required to insert or remove a package is low.
Initially, the LIF connectors were designed as a cheaper alternative compared to zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors, to facilitate programming and testing of equipment. Compared with standard IC sockets, they have a lower friction force between the contacts of the device and the socket, making insertion and removal of the device easier, while at the same time eliminating the need for the complex mechanism that is used in ZIF sockets.
The disadvantages of LIF connectors are that the grip force between the contacts is lower, and the contacts can oxidize faster and decrease the lifespan of the connector. With the advent of frequent changes in PC processors, a need arose for these systems. Intel introduced the LIF socket system, in which the processor is inserted into the socket, rather than fixed by a lever. This type of socket was used for some types of 386s and early 486s. This type of socket has been replaced by the ZIF socket, although LIF sockets are now used in modern 1.8" hard disks.

OK, I know it's technically a ZIF plug/connector, but no one says ZIF plug.

A ZIF Socket seemed perfect at first... then a pit of despair... and then finally awesome.
Seriously, what did I do to deserve these challenges installing a ZIF socket? The reason you would want a Zero Insertion Force is when you expect to insert and remove a lot of ICs as in a test setup (what I'm doing). Or do you have an old IC, one with fragile pins that you do not want to risk damaging? A ZIF will allow the IC to literally fall into place without needing force to press the legs into a socket, and the chip will not be subjected to the heat of soldering. This is an impromptu video I recorded when I realized how difficult the fit can be in some PC boards. The ZIF went into my Color Computer 2 that will be used for testing CocoDV circuit boards. This will avoid bent pins and prevent wear and tear on the test hardware in the long run.

CrystalBand™ High Current Connector_Low Insertion Force & High Mating Cycles
The CrystalBand™ connector series is designed for high Current,low insertion force and high mating cycles
Multiple contact points design reduces power loss and avoids overheating
CrystalBand™ uses multiple cross contact design that contact points off-set in different planes to increase the contact area and can creates high current rating capabilities even within limited size.
The CrystalBand™ can reach up to 450Amps of current when paired with a 12mm diameter bus connector.
Single-end spring-pin design has longer moment arm, and with only the up-and-down pin movement, it effectively reduces the insertion and extraction force and increases the mating cycles.
Mating cycles can be as many as 10,000 cycles
Bellwether's CrystalBand™ connectors come in a variaty of mounting types and power watt...

Low Mating Force (LMF) Connectors for Improved Ergonomics | Molex
Discover the advantages of Low Mating Force (LMF) Connectors and how they improve overall connector mating. https://bit.ly/3NdiyKJ
👇 *IN THIS VIDEO*
Prompted by the growth of electronic integration, today’s electronics are increasingly complex and require additional design considerations to meet assembly demands. Connector misalignment can lead to inefficiencies and operator fatigue may result in safety concerns. Low Mating Force (LMF) and zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors improve mating capabilities, provide excellent housing pre-alignment and reduce pin stubbing—all contributing to improved operator efficiency and safety.
With increased position counts and higher assembly volumes, many home appliance manufacturers seek solutions that alleviate many of the pain points the industry ...
