Heilind stocking Molex DDR3 DIMM memory module sockets

USA:  Heilind Electronics, the largest distributor of interconnect products in North America, is now stocking DDR3 DIMM memory module sockets manufactured by Molex Inc.

An established DDR DRAM interface technology, DDR3 sockets support data rates of 800 to 1600 Mbps with clock frequencies of 400 to 800 MHz, a doubling of speed compared to the DDR2. With a standard operating voltage of 1.5V, the DDR3 consumes 30 percent  less power than the DDR2.

These and others features make the Molex DDR3 DIMM memory module sockets an apt design choice for demanding memory applications in notebook computers, desktop PCs and servers – as well as for certain industrial automation, medical, and telecommunications equipment.

Offered in low-profile and very-low-profile SMT and press-fit aerodynamic options, the DDR3 socket maximizes air flow around memory modules during operation. Engineered with a 2.40mm seating plane, these sockets use very low-profile modules with maximum seating heights below 2.80mm, in ATCA blade systems.

The smaller eye-of-needle compliant pins used in the Molex DDR3 press-fit sockets save valuable space on the PCB by increasing trace-routing density between holes. DDR3 DIMM memory module sockets are also available in an ultra-low-profile option and feature a 1.10mm seating plane with low-level contact resistance of 10 milliohms.
