200-pin SODIMM
A small outline dual inline memory module (SODIMM) consists of a number of
memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board
(usually green). SODIMMs get their name because they are smaller and thinner
than regular DIMMs. The gold pins on the bottom of the SODIMM provide a
connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board.
The pins on the front and back of a SODIMM are not connected.
200-pin SODIMMs are used to provide DDR and DDR2 SDRAM memory for
notebook computers. To use DDR or DDR2 memory, your system motherboard
must have 200-pin SODIMM slots and a DDR- or DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR
or DDR2 SODIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM SODIMM socket.
(Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in
the Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool.)
The number of black components on a 200-pin SODIMM can vary, but it always
has 100 pins on the front and 100 pins on the back, for a total of 200. 200-pin
SODIMMs are approximately 2.625 inches long and 1.25 inches high, though the
heights can vary. Like 144-pin SODIMMs, 200-pin SODIMMs have one small
notch within the row of pins; however, the notch on the 200-pin SODIMMs is
closer to the left side of the module.
