+===== ZIF socket =====
+Zero Insertion Force socket.
+A device used for holding Integrated Circuits, such as PICs, during programming, it has a lever which acts on one side of each pin receptacle so that the pin may be gripped or free to move. The IC is inserted in the open position when it can be dropped in without any force, the lever is then operated to grip the pins so making good electrical contact, when it is required to remove the IC the lever is de-operated and the IC is free to move.
 ===== ZIMO =====
-ZIMO ELEKTRONIK, an Austrian company based in Vienna, first launched a digital model railway control system in 1979 and progressively developed the system through the 1980s and early 1990s to include decoder BEMF, block control, route setting and a push button CTC panel amongst other advanced functions. Switching to the emerging DCC standard in 1996, ZIMO swiftly gained a reputation as the 'Cadillac' of DCC suppliers and maintains a leading industry position at the time of writing.     \\ [[http://www.zimo.at/web2010/|http://www.zimo.at/web2010/]]
