    30-Pin Single Inline Memory Module Pinout

    30-pin SIMM modules were an early type of computer memory module that contained dynamic RAM chips. They had 30 pins on each side of the module board for a total of 30 unique signal pins. Data was transferred over an 8-bit bus. By today's standards, 30-pin SIMMs had very slow access times of 60 nanoseconds. They have been replaced by higher capacity and faster 72-pin SIMMs and other memory module formats.

    30-Pin Single Inline Memory Module Pinout

    Computer Memory Module sticks using the 30-Pin SIMM format are listed on this page.
    A 30 pin memory card has 30 pins [or fingers] on each side of the memory module board;
    how ever, the pins on either side of the PWB are connected together. The memory
    module may appear to have 60 pins when in fact there are only 30 unique signal pins. 30
    pin SIMMs used only an 8-bit data bus perhaps 9-bits using ECC. In this case ECC may
    also be called Parity.
    At last check 30-pin SIMMs had an access time of 60nS, which is very slow by today's
    standards. The Pin Out and Signal Names for a 30-Pin SIMM module is listed below. 30
    pin SIMM modules are obsolete, replaced by 72-pin SIMMS, and no longer used.

    are connected together]

    SIMM: Single Inline Memory Module


    DRAM: Dynamic Random Access Memory
    FPM: Fast Page Mode: (asynchronous) Obsolete, faster than normal DRAM, used in
    386/486 computers. All 30 pin SIMMs use FPM memory. 30 pin SIMMs have an
    alignment notch on the bottom left to side. 30 pin SIMM modules are obsolete and no
    longer used.
