DDR2 SODIMM socket for compact memory modules
The 1565918-4 is a 200-position SODIMM socket from TE Connectivity, designed for DDR2 SDRAM modules. It uses a right-angle surface-mount interface with a reverse mounting feature, meaning the card slot faces the opposite side of the PCB from the solder tails — a layout choice that can simplify routing in space-constrained designs. The mated height is 0.205" (5.20mm), which sets the card clearance above the board. The housing includes board guides and latches to align and retain the memory module during assembly and in service.
Contact finish and plating grade
Contacts are gold flash (contact finish thickness listed as Flash), which is a thin gold layer over the base metal. Gold flash is sufficient for the moderate mating cycle life of a SODIMM socket and avoids the corrosion risk of bare tin in humid environments.
Package and handling
The base product number is 1565918.
