KCP556SS8-16 Kingston 1x16GB DDR5 Unbuffered SO-DIMM RAM

High-Density DDR5 SO-DIMM Memory Expansion for Mobile and Edge Platforms with the KCP556SS8-16

The KCP556SS8-16 is a Kingston DDR5 SO-DIMM designed for IT teams standardising memory upgrades across notebooks and small form factor systems where JEDEC compliance and predictable interoperability are required. As a 16GB single-module solution, it enables straightforward capacity expansion while maintaining platform-level stability for fleet refreshes and edge deployments.

Built on DDR5-5600 architecture, the KCP556SS8-16 supports higher effective bandwidth and improved bank efficiency compared with prior generations, helping reduce memory stalls in CPU-bound workloads. Its 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor targets compact compute nodes with limited expansion, while the non-ECC, unbuffered design aligns with systems that prioritise density and compatibility over server-class error correction. With single-rank x16 organisation and 1.1V operation, the KCP556SS8-16 is optimised for thermally constrained environments and consistent performance under sustained multitasking.

Why Choose the KCP556SS8-16?

The KCP556SS8-16 delivers a pragmatic density-to-performance upgrade path for enterprise endpoints and edge devices, using standard DDR5-5600 signalling to simplify qualification across mixed hardware generations. For deployments where ECC is not mandated, the KCP556SS8-16 provides scalable memory uplift with minimal integration risk, enabling repeatable rollouts and predictable lifecycle management.

Kingston engineers its enterprise memory to meet stringent electrical and compatibility requirements, focusing on stable operation under real-world platform constraints. This discipline supports modern data centre and edge standards by prioritising JEDEC-aligned behaviour, controlled component selection, and consistent manufacturing quality for long-term fleet consistency.

Key Applications:

• Notebook and SFF system memory expansion
• Edge and embedded compute upgrades
• VDI endpoints and power-user laptops
