204-Position DDR3 SODIMM Socket — Board Layout Fit
The 2013290-1 is a 204-position SODIMM socket designed specifically for DDR3 SDRAM memory modules. The 204-position count is the standard for DDR3 SO-DIMMs, so this connector is a direct fit for that memory type. It mounts via surface mount technology at a 25° angle, which is a common orientation for SODIMM sockets to allow the module to lie parallel to the board at a low profile. The reverse mounting feature means the module inserts from the opposite side of the board compared to a standard orientation — verify your board's keep-out zone and module insertion direction before layout. Gold flash contacts provide reliable electrical connection over repeated module insertions — typical for memory sockets where signal integrity at high data rates matters more than high mating cycle counts.
