CT16G52C42S5 Crucial 1x16GB DDR5 Unbuffered SO-DIMM RAM

High-Performance DDR5 SO-DIMM Memory Expansion for Edge and Mobile Platforms with the CT16G52C42S5

The CT16G52C42S5 is a Crucial 16GB DDR5-5200 262-pin SO-DIMM designed to increase memory bandwidth and capacity in DDR5-enabled notebook, small form factor, and embedded compute systems. For enterprise IT teams standardising client-edge endpoints, the CT16G52C42S5 provides a JEDEC-aligned upgrade path that supports modern CPU platforms where DDR5 is used to feed higher core counts, integrated graphics, and accelerated inference pipelines.

Built as a 1x16GB unbuffered, single-rank x8 module, CT16G52C42S5 targets predictable latency behavior and broad platform compatibility rather than tuning via overclock profiles. Its DDR5-5200 operating point helps reduce memory-bound stalls in virtualised developer workstations and lab systems, while the 1.1V power profile supports thermally constrained chassis. In systems where PCIe expansion and NVMe storage already provide throughput, CT16G52C42S5 helps keep data staging, compilation, and analytics workloads responsive by improving memory-side concurrency without changing storage architecture.

Why Choose the CT16G52C42S5?

The CT16G52C42S5 offers a practical density-to-performance step for DDR5 SO-DIMM platforms that need consistent interoperability across mixed hardware fleets. As a standard non-ECC module, CT16G52C42S5 simplifies qualification for client-edge deployments, spares stocking, and rapid field replacement, while keeping scaling straightforward through additional SO-DIMM population where supported.

Crucial engineering focuses on electrically compliant DRAM design and controlled manufacturing processes to deliver stable operation under continuous enterprise usage. The CT16G52C42S5 aligns with modern data centre and edge standards by prioritising JEDEC parameters, predictable thermals, and repeatable integration in OEM-class systems.

Key Applications:

• DDR5 notebook and mobile workstation memory upgrades
• Small form factor and embedded edge compute nodes
• Lab and development systems requiring additional RAM
• Enterprise fleet spares and IT inventory standardisation
