262-Position DDR5 SODIMM — the JEDEC-standard memory connector
The 10157422-002RHLF: This is a 262-position DDR5 SODIMM connector from Amphenol ICC (FCI), designed to mate with DDR5 SDRAM modules in a right-angle orientation. The 0.196" (4.00mm) mated height is the standard for slim-profile laptop and embedded system designs where board-to-module clearance is tight. The board guide and latches help align the module during insertion and hold it against vibration after the latches engage.
Height and footprint — what the 4.00mm buys the layout
At 0.196" (4.00mm) mated height, this connector sits lower than the 5.20mm sibling (10161033-002RHLF) and the 8.00mm version (10157591-002RHLF). The right-angle SMT footprint keeps the module parallel to the board, which saves z-height in the enclosure but requires the memory slot to be placed near the board edge for module insertion and removal. The card thickness specification of 0.047" (1.20mm) matches the standard DDR5 SODIMM PCB thickness — confirm the module's edge connector thickness before committing the BOM.
