[30-pin SIMM] [72-pin SIMM] [72-pin SODIMM] [72-pin ECC SIMM]
[Memory Module Signal Assignments]
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.
Refer to the main Memory Module manufacturers page for an updated list of current PC memory modules in production.
SIMM memory sticks are no longer being produced, and can not be purchased as new products.

Data width is 32 bits per memory stick [the front 72 pins and back 72 fingers on the card are connected together]
The approximate board size. 4.25" x 1.0"
SIMM: Single Inline Memory Module
DRAM: Dynamic Random Access Memory
ECC: Error Correcting Code
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. Additional 72 pin modules
pinouts include:
72 pin SIMM pin outs, or 72 pin SO DIMM pin out. Additional
pinouts may be located on the Memory Module
manufacturers page.
The 72-pin SIMM table details an obsolete SIMM memory stick that is no longer in production.
SIMM memory is out-dated, out of production and should be replaced as soon as the Mother-Board is upgraded.
