DDR3 SODIMM socket?

D

I need one of these:

It's a low-profile smd type DDR3 SODIMM socket for laptop use with those
little metal spring-release tabs.

I need one with 4 mm total height. All the ones I can find are 5-plus mm.
I've seen 4 mm parts in manufacturer datasheets but can't find any US
distributors.

And it needs to be standard orientation flavor (key right-of-center, relative
to user's view when inserting the SODIMM).

That last point is glossed-over pretty easily by even product drawings: as
far as I can determine these come in both orientations: the two types are
identical except that the polarity key is right- or left-of center. I think
the "standard" model is right-of-center key.

Mouser has only vertical orientation sockets (a la desktop motherboard).
Digi-Key has the correct type but wrong key location (reverse style).

Sources?

Thanks.

Maybe the 4mm guys were 'lying', and re-fashioned their spec sheets.

Could you not get a set of those as a reference element?

I have one 4mm socket, removed from a mboard -- wrong "sex" (key located
wrongly for my needs). Labeled

"DDR3 1.5V 4.0R" with logo "LCN"

but I can find no distributors for this.

This might work:
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/78194-0001/WM19149-ND/2046762

Digikey does not stock but they say minimum order is 1. Standard package
is 16 so you might have to buy 16. I have ordered different non-stock
connectors from Digikey with no problems. Wanted 10 for a special
project. Got it in 3 weeks.

That does look good.

It's now obsoleted by Molex but Digi-Key crossed it to this TE part:

http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/2-2013022-2/A111119CT-ND/4142503

and it will work for me.

Thanks for the pointer.

Have a great weekend.

Probably cheaper to buy a dead version of the entire motherboard, and
salvage one (or more) from that.
