SRAM is volatile — it requires the PLC's battery backup to retain the program and data when the main power is off. If the backup battery is low or missing, a power cycle wipes the card. Rated capacity is 2 MB; after formatting the usable space is 2034 Kbytes. That gap is the file-system overhead the Q series controller writes during initialisation. Budget for the formatted number when sizing a project. The card stores up to 287 files. This matters when you separate the main sequence, subroutines, parameter blocks, and data-logging recipes into individual files rather than one monolithic project. ## Mechanical endurance for field swaps Rated for 5000 insertion and removal cycles. That is the connector endurance — the card edge and the PLC slot contacts are designed for frequent field swaps during commissioning, firmware updates, or program transfers between machines. After 5000 cycles the contact resistance may drift outside spec. External dimensions are 4.5 cm x 4.28 cm x 0.33 cm. The card sits flush in the Q series CPU or memory slot; no protruding handle or latch extends beyond the module face. No official successor order code is published for this card. The Q series memory portfolio includes higher-capacity SRAM and flash options, but Mitsubishi has not designated a direct drop-in replacement for the 2 MB SRAM variant. Sourced to order against the BOM quantity through independent distribution.","metaTitle":"Mitsubishi Q2MEM-2MBS SRAM Memory Card, 2 MB","metaDescription":"Mitsubishi Q2MEM-2MBS SRAM memory card for MELSEC System Q PLCs. 2 MB capacity, 2034 KB after formatting, 5000 insertion cycles.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["PLC Accessories"],"specifications":{"title":"Q2MEM-2MBS","Weight":"0.015 Kg","Memory type":"SRAM","Product No.":"Q2MEM-2MBS","description":"MELSEC System Q Memory Cards","Product type":"MELSEC System Q Memory Cards","Memory capacity":"2 MB","Shipping weight":"1 Kg","lifecycle_stage":"mature","Estimated Lead Time":"Usually ships in 1 - 10 working days.","Number of storable files":"287 bottles","Memory capacity after formatting":"2034 Kbytes","Number of insertions and removals":"5000 times","External dimensions, (HxWxD) approx":"4.5cm x 4.28cm x 0.33"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$154.00","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/7e440d026a97968ded0e741bdec1e85e.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the usable memory after formatting on Q2MEM-2MBS?","answer":"After formatting, the usable capacity is 2034 Kbytes.
