Changes

SO-DIMM mating connectors from different vendors may have slight differences in mechanical characteristics. For example, One critical point is the position of the end of the mating area (please see the picture below) , that can be slightly shifted inwards or outwards in respect to the retention holes on the carrier board. This can lead to a misalignment with the holes on the SO-DIMM modules, making difficult or impossible to insert the retentions screws or locking supports.
