200-Pin DDR2 SODIMM Socket — Board Fit and Memory Compatibility
The 10033853-052ASLF: This is a 200-position DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM socket from Amphenol ICC (FCI), designed for surface-mount soldering at a 30° angle. The 200 contacts match the standard DDR2 module edge connector — a DDR3 module has the same pin count but a different keying notch, so this socket is not mechanically compatible with DDR3.
Mounting and Retention — Board Guide and Latches
Latches on each side lock the SODIMM in place — these are the retention mechanism that keeps the module seated under vibration in portable equipment. The 30° angle means the module sits at a shallow incline above the PCB, which can help with z-height clearance in slim enclosures.
