72 Pin SIMM Modules
72 pin SIMM modules are obsolete and no longer used. SIMM modules were replaced
by DIMM memory modules.
The pinout for 72 pin SIMM memory is listed in the table below.
72-pin memory modules have been obsolete for some time now. 72-pin memory modules
should not be used in new designs.
Refer to the main Computer Memory Modules page for an updated listing of current
memory module formats.
SIMM Size
PD2 PD1 Size
GND GND 4 or 64 MB
GND NC 2 or 32 MB
NC GND 1 or 16 MB
NC NC 8 MB
The edge connector pin-outs for the 72 PIN SIMM [Single Inline Memory Module] is
listed in the table above. The follow up tables provide the size and access times.
SIMM: Single Inline Memory Module. SIMM's have pins on the front and back
of the card, but they are connected together.
DRAM: Dynamic Random Access Memory
FPM:Fast Page Mode: (asynchronous) Obsolete, faster than normal DRAM, used in
386/486 computers.
EDO: Extended Data Out: (asynchronous) A superset of FPM, just faster than FPM.
All 72 pin SIMMs use either EDO or FPM memory. 72 pin SIMM modules are obsolete
and no longer used. 72 pin SIMMs have an alignment notch on the bottom left to side,
and a notch in the center of the PWB.
