Low Insertion ForceLow Insertion Force (LIF) is a type of socket often used for PGA or SPGA integrated circuits (ICs). The integrated circuit is simply pushed into the socket, and levered out when removing. Most modern motherboard processor sockets are now Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) rather than LIF. The reason many motherboards are going to the ZIF style rather than the LIF style is because it became difficult to apply equal pressure onto a processor into a LIF port without the processor becoming misaligned in the LIF socket. The socket in this picture belongs to a Socket 462 which takes AMD Athlon and AMD Duron CPUs. It creates a connection with a CPU that has 462 pins.
