ZIF or "Zero Insertion Force" sockets allow the socket to open to receive the pin without pressure and then close around the pin to give a good, solid connection.

What is the part called that a light bulb fits into?
Socket
Is it safe to plug in a 15A dimmer pack into a standard 13A socket?
No it is not safe because it may be possible that the load 15 A may take grater than 15 amp and your socket and wiring may burn or damage.so i will say that use 20 amp socket it will safe for your device and also for your wiring connection.
Can you use a regular bulb in a heat lamp socket?
Never put a bulb in a light socket what has a higher wattage rating than the socket. This could cause either or both of the following problems, which could result in a fire:excessive current will cause heating of the wires providing power to the socketthe higher wattage bulb will be hotter than expected and may ignite the lampshade or other parts near it

User has a motherboard with a ZIF socket Which type of processor connector can the user add to this motherboard?
ZIF is used on almost all modern processors. You need to find out which socket it uses.

What CPU socket has a small lever that locks the CPU into place?
Zero Insertion Force socket, the ZIF socket was designed by Intel and includes a small lever to insert and remove the computer processor.
What is the difference between a LIF socket and a ZIF socket?
LIF is Mexican and ZIF is white Cutec at http://cutec.wordpress.com/2008/08/14/acer-aspire-one-zg5-hands-on-experience/#comment-77 propose the following: Difference between ZIF and LIF is in the design, ZIF is designed to be changed less than 5 times, LIF about 20 times before breakage is expected. another great site: ziflif.info/ziflif/
When installing a CPU in a zip socket how should a technician align pin to avoid damage?
Pin 1 on the CPU is aligned with Pin 1 on the ZIF socket.
Is it true that current processor sockets called zero insertion force or ZIF sockets have a small lever on the side that lifts the processor up and out of the socket?
The lever doesn't lift the processor out of the socket; it takes the shearing force off of the processor pins inside of the holes, so that the processor can be lifted out, or inserted, with no pressure necessary. When you lower the lever on a ZIF socket, the pins are clamped down on under the socket plastic housing.
How do ZIF sockets make it easier to remove and replace the processor?
"ZIF" is an anconym for "Zero Insersion Force". For any processor, or other integrated circuit designed for insertion into a socket, the force required to insert or remove it is proportional to the number of pins on the chip. As each pin needs a secure connection to it's socket, the force required on modern processors, having close to a thousand pins; to insert into or remove from a socket reliably and without damage; would be extremely high and would likely cause physical damage if done by hand. A ZIF socket utilizes a clamping mechanism whereby the socket contacts can be opened using a lever. This allows a processor, with hundreds of fragile pins, to simply be dropped into the socket with no force. Then, the ZIF socket is clamped or "locked" using the lever which firmly clamps all pins tightly. In this manner, a ZIF socket makes difficult and potentially damaging insertion or removal of a processor or other integrated circuit, a simple, easy, and safe task.
