Black Aluminium Heatsink for Raspberry Pi - 14x14x11mm Adhesive
Black Aluminium Heatsink for Raspberry Pi (Adhesive) – 14x14x11mm
This compact black aluminium heatsink is designed to provide passive cooling for small chips and processors, such as the system-on-chip (SoC) on popular single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. Measuring just 14x14x11mm and weighing only 3 grams, it is unobtrusive and comes with pre-applied thermal adhesive tape for straightforward, mess-free installation. By efficiently dissipating excess heat, it helps maintain stable performance, prevents thermal throttling, and prolongs the lifespan of your electronics.

What You Can Build With This
- Keep your Raspberry Pi 4 running cool during intensive tasks like 4K media streaming or retro gaming with emulation.
- Improve thermal management in DIY NAS (Network Attached Storage) or home server projects that run 24/7.
- Enhance stability for overclocked Raspberry Pi projects such as crypto miners, AI image recognition, or real-time data logging.
- Use multiple heatsinks on RAM, USB controller, and SoC to reduce throttling in enclosed cases with limited airflow.
Compatibility
This heatsink fits most single-board computers including Raspberry Pi 4, 3B+, 3, and Zero. It can be applied directly to the main SoC, memory chip, or any other 14x14mm or smaller IC. Works with standard 5V/3.3V logic levels and requires no additional hardware. Additionally, it can be used on other boards like Orange Pi, Banana Pi, or even Arduino shields that have hot-running ICs. The adhesive is strong enough to hold the heatsink in any orientation.
Wiring Notes
This is a passive cooling component—no wiring or power required. Simply clean the target chip's surface with isopropyl alcohol, peel off the protective backing, and align the heatsink before pressing firmly for 10 seconds. Ensure that the heatsink does not touch any adjacent components, pins, or PCB traces to avoid electrical shorts.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes, the heatsink can be used on the 14x14mm chips of the Raspberry Pi 5, but ensure the adhesive doesn't interfere with the active cooler if you're using one.
Does the adhesive leave residue when removed?
The thermal tape may leave minimal residue that can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Gentle heating before removal helps.
Can I use this on non-Raspberry Pi devices?
Absolutely. It works on any chip or component up to 14x14mm that requires passive cooling, such as voltage regulators, motor drivers, or Arduinos.
