TE Connectivity 822030-3 SIMM Memory Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 822030-3 is a 72-position SIMM RAM socket connector designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This connector features board guides and latches, conforming to MO-116 standards and accommodating card thicknesses between 0.047" and 0.054" (1.19mm to 1.37mm). The 822030-3 is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for legacy system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in applications requiring SIMM memory socket functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 822030-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Functional Equivalence:

• Connector style (SIMM)
• Number of positions (72)
• Memory type (RAM)
• Standards compliance (MO-116)
• Contact finish thickness (200.0µin / 5.08µm)

Mechanical Equivalence:

• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Card thickness accommodation (0.047" ~ 0.054")
• Features (Board Guide, Latches)
• Mounting feature (Normal, Standard - Top)
• Series designation (Micro-Edge)

The substitute part 5822030-3 maintains full equivalence across all critical parameters while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance. Differences in contact finish material (Tin-Lead versus Tin) and packaging format do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5822030-3 serves as the direct active substitute for the obsolete 822030-3. Selection of the 5822030-3 is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The 5822030-3 maintains active product status with current manufacturing availability, whereas the 822030-3 is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5822030-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, addressing modern regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The 822030-3 remains RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, presenting compliance constraints for new designs and regulated applications.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector style, position count, mounting configuration, and card thickness accommodation.

Contact Finish Consideration: The 5822030-3 utilizes Tin contact finish in place of the Tin-Lead finish of the 822030-3. Both finishes maintain the specified contact finish thickness of 200.0µin (5.08µm) and are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and soldering operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5822030-3 directly replace the 822030-3 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 5822030-3 maintains full mechanical and electrical equivalence with the 822030-3 across all critical parameters including connector style, position count, mounting type, card thickness accommodation, and feature set. Direct substitution is supported without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between Tin-Lead and Tin?

A: Both contact finishes maintain the specified thickness of 200.0µin (5.08µm) and are compatible with standard PCB assembly and soldering processes. The Tin finish of the 5822030-3 aligns with modern RoHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the Tin-Lead finish of the 822030-3 reflects legacy manufacturing standards.

Q: Why is the 822030-3 listed as obsolete?

A: The 822030-3 is classified as obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status and REACH affected designation. The 5822030-3 represents the current active equivalent, offering improved regulatory compliance and manufacturing availability.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector functionality?

A: No. The packaging format difference (unspecified for 822030-3 versus Tube for 5822030-3) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and inventory management requirements rather than functional compatibility.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for SIMM RAM socket applications?

A: Yes. Both the 822030-3 and 5822030-3 are designed for 72-position SIMM RAM socket applications with identical accommodation for card thicknesses between 0.047" and 0.054" (1.19mm to 1.37mm) and full compliance with MO-116 standards.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 822030-3 has 1125 pieces available as new original stock but is obsolete with no ongoing production. The 5822030-3 has 1224 pieces available with active product status and current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability for ongoing applications.
