204-Pin DDR3 SODIMM Socket for Board Builders
The 2-2013022-1 is a 204-position SODIMM socket from TE Connectivity, explicitly designed for DDR3 SDRAM modules. The 204-pin count is the standard for DDR3 SO-DIMMs, making this socket a direct fit for memory upgrades in laptops, embedded systems, and compact industrial PCs. The socket mounts at a 25° angle to the PCB, a common orientation for low-profile memory slots that allows the module to lie nearly flat, saving vertical space in tight enclosures.
Contact Finish and Mating Reliability
Contacts are finished with Gold flash over the mating area. Gold flash provides a corrosion-resistant, low-resistance interface for signal integrity at DDR3 data rates, though it supports fewer mating cycles than thicker gold plating — suitable for applications where the module is installed once and rarely swapped. The socket includes integrated Board Guide and Latches.
Packaging and Assembly Fit
The Surface Mount, 25° Angle orientation requires a specific footprint — confirm the pad layout against the TE application drawing before committing the board design.
