Model specifications

Manufacturer / productCrucial CT16G56C46S5
Product classSpecific Crucial DDR5 laptop SO-DIMM
Source-backed configuration16 GB DDR5-5600, 262-pin SO-DIMM; CL46; 1.1 V per Crucial product page. Rank and ECC/buffering details are not presumed beyond manufacturer listing.
Platform compatibilityRequires a DDR5 SO-DIMM platform supporting 16 GB modules. It is not a replacement for DDR4 SO-DIMM; actual speed depends on the system controller and supported timing.
Variant boundariesOnly values cited for this exact SKU are stated. Unlisted timings, ranks, organization, or sub-revision differences must be checked against the specimen label, SPD and manufacturer data.

Compatibility & service notes

  • Requires a DDR5 SO-DIMM platform supporting 16 GB modules. It is not a replacement for DDR4 SO-DIMM; actual speed depends on the system controller and supported timing.
  • Power down before removal, use ESD precautions, handle by the edges, and never force a memory module into a keyed socket.
  • Identify ECC and buffering independently: ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, and LRDIMM have distinct platform support requirements. DDR5 on-die ECC is not system-level ECC.
  • Check CPU/controller support, motherboard or server service manual, firmware, module capacity/density, slot population and supported data rate. Physical fit is not proof of compatibility.

Archival record fields

Check the exact module revision/SPD and system vendor maximum capacity and JEDEC timings. Preserve both-side photos and the host service reference. Preserve label photographs, SPD data, full SKU, revision/date code, host configuration, BIOS/BMC version and test results. When installed, record slot and channel location.

Manufacturer & standards sources

  1. Crucial — CT16G56C46S5 product pageManufacturer source for the named product; use full part number and revision to verify the specimen.
  2. JEDEC — DDR5 SDRAM standardGeneration-level standards context; the product listing identifies the module-specific data.

Manufacturer pages are the model-specific source; JEDEC pages define generation-level context. For a preserved machine, its vendor manual and validated memory support list take precedence over generic fit claims.
