184-pin DIMM
A DIMM, or dual in-line memory module, comprises a series of dynamic random access memory integrated circuits (DRAM chips). These modules are mounted on a printed circuit board and designed for use in personal computers, workstations and servers.
184-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR SDRAM memory for desktop computers and servers. Standard 184-pin DIMMs are available in PC1600 DDR SDRAM (rarely used), PC2100 DDR SDRAM, PC2700 DDR SDRAM, and PC3200 DDR SDRAM.
To use DDR memory, your system motherboard must have 184-pin DIMM slots and a DDR-enabled chipset. A DDR SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM, DDR2, or DDR3 DIMM socket.. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the specific brand/model section of our website.)
The number of black components (DRAM chips) on a 184-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 92 pins on the front and 92 pins on the back, for a total of 184. 184-pin DIMMs are typically 133mm (5.25 inches) long and 35mm (1.25 inches) high, though the heights can vary. While 184-pin DIMMs and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins.
Several form factors are commonly used in DDR DIMMS. When first introduced, they were created with a "Low Profile" (LP) height of ~1.2" (31.2mm). These fit into vertical DIMM sockets for a 1U platform. With the advent of blade servers, the LP form factor DIMMs have once again been often angled to fit in these space-constrained boxes. This led to the development of the Very Low Profile (VLP) form factor DIMM with a height of ~.72" (18.3 mm). The DDR3 JEDEC standard for VLP DIMM height is 18.75mm.
