Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the TE Connectivity 2-2013310-3 and 2-2013289-3 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Both connectors support 204 positions for DDR3 SDRAM memory modules
• Identical contact finish (gold) and contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Both maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Both feature SODIMM connector style with 25° insertion angle
• Both include board guide and latch features for module retention
• Both accommodate 0.039" (1.00mm) card thickness
• Both are surface mount configurations

Key Differentiator: The primary difference between these parts is the physical height: the 2-2013310-3 measures 0.362" (9.20mm) while the 2-2013289-3 measures 0.205" (5.20mm). This height variation must be evaluated against available PCB clearance and system design constraints. Additionally, the 2-2013289-3 is actively produced and available in Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the 2-2013310-3 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 2-2013289-3 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 2-2013310-3. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications for DDR3 SDRAM memory module support and are manufactured to the same quality and compliance standards (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Selection Criteria:

The 2-2013289-3 is suitable for new designs and production applications requiring a 204-position SODIMM DDR3 socket connector. The reduced height of 0.205" (5.20mm) compared to the original 0.362" (9.20mm) provides design flexibility for space-constrained applications. Verification of PCB clearance and mechanical fit within the target system is necessary to confirm compatibility.

Both parts carry identical regulatory compliance certifications (ROHS3, EAR99 ECCN classification, HTSUS 8536.69.4040) and maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance, supporting deployment in standard manufacturing and storage environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-2013289-3 directly replace the 2-2013310-3 in existing designs?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed across all 204 positions and DDR3 SDRAM specifications. However, the height difference (0.205" versus 0.362") requires verification of available PCB clearance. If the original design accommodates the taller profile, the shorter substitute part will fit without issue. If clearance is limited, the reduced height of the 2-2013289-3 may provide additional design margin.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these connectors?

A: The 2-2013289-3 is 0.157" (3.70mm) shorter than the 2-2013310-3. This reduction affects the overall system profile and component stacking height. Applications with strict height constraints benefit from the lower profile, while applications with adequate clearance experience no functional impact.

Q: Are both connectors available in the same packaging formats?

A: The 2-2013310-3 is obsolete and no longer produced. The 2-2013289-3 is actively manufactured and supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.

Q: Do both connectors support the same DDR3 SDRAM specifications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 204-position DDR3 SDRAM memory modules with identical electrical characteristics, contact finish specifications, and insertion angle (25°).

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, MSL 1 rating, EAR99 ECCN classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040. They meet the same regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: What is the practical implication of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that both connectors have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. Standard manufacturing and warehouse conditions are acceptable.
