SOJ DRAM

The term SOJ DRAM is short for Small Outline J-lead Dual In-line Memory Module. As the name implies, it's a type of memory module used in computers with DRAM (dynamic random-access memory). The "SOJ" part describes its package, meaning it has leads in the shape of the letter "J" for surface mounting on a PCB (printed circuit board).

More common in older computer systems, the SOJ DRAM design was used in place of gull-wing leads to help save space on the motherboard. However, modern systems use different formats, like DIMM (dual in-line memory module) or SO-DIMM (small outline dual in-line memory module).
