204-Pin SODIMM Socket for DDR3 Memory Modules
The 2013289-2 is a 204-position SODIMM socket from TE Connectivity, designed specifically for DDR3 SDRAM memory modules. The 204-pin layout matches the JEDEC standard for DDR3 SODIMMs, making it the correct interface for upgrading or building memory subsystems in laptops, embedded systems, and compact industrial PCs. Mounted at a 25° angle relative to the board surface, this socket allows the memory module to sit at a low profile, saving vertical space inside tight enclosures. The standard top mounting feature means the module inserts from above, which is the typical orientation for SODIMM connectors in most designs.
Board Guide and Latches for Secure Module Retention
Once seated, the integrated latches lock the module in place, providing mechanical retention against vibration and shock — important for mobile and industrial applications where the system experiences movement or impact.
