288-position DDR5 DIMM socket with board locks and latches
The 2379513-1 is a 288-position DDR5 DIMM socket from TE Connectivity, designed for surface-mount soldering onto a motherboard or memory-down module. It is part of the narrow-body DDR5 family, accepting standard DDR5 memory modules with a card thickness of 0.050" (1.27 mm). The socket is keyed for DDR5 only — a DDR4 module will not seat correctly, and forcing it risks damaging the contacts. The 288 positions match the JEDEC DDR5 DIMM pinout. Integrated board locks hold the socket in place during reflow, preventing skew from solder paste surface tension. The side latches snap over the module edges to retain the DIMM against shock and vibration common in server and industrial PC environments.
30 µinch gold contacts and mounting orientation
Gold-on-nickel construction resists corrosion in environments with low-level humidity or airborne contaminants. Mounting feature is Normal, Standard - Top, meaning the socket sits upright on the PCB and the DIMM inserts vertically from above. This is the typical orientation for desktop, server, and industrial single-board computers. Packaged in a tray — suitable for pick-and-place assembly lines that handle tray-fed components. The black housing is the standard colour for TE's DDR5 narrow-body DIMM sockets.
The 2379513-1 and 2-2355627-1 share identical specs: 288 positions, DDR5, gold 30 µinch contacts, board locks and latches, surface-mount, black housing, tray packaging. Both are active. The difference is the base product number — 2379513 vs 2355627 — which may reflect a minor tooling revision or assembly site. Functionally interchangeable for BOM purposes. Sibling 2-2355626-1 adds a height spec of 0.570" (14.50 mm) — the 2379513-1 does not list a height, but the narrow-body DDR5 family shares the same overall envelope. Confirm stack-up clearance if the 0.570" dimension is critical to your assembly.
