Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 2GB RAM Board for IoT Projects | Compoden
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B – 2 GB RAM
The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 2GB RAM is the fourth-generation single-board computer from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It offers a significant performance boost over previous models with a quad-core Cortex-A72 processor, making it suitable for everything from home automation to light desktop use. The board provides a full desktop experience, dual-display support, and fast networking in a compact, energy-efficient package.

Compatibility
The board is compatible with all major Raspberry Pi operating systems, including Raspberry Pi OS (Debian-based), Ubuntu, and LibreELEC. It works seamlessly with standard 5V power supplies, most HDMI monitors, and the vast ecosystem of HATs and GPIO add-ons. Voltage levels on GPIO are 3.3V—not 5V tolerant—so level shifters are required when interfacing with 5V sensors or microcontrollers like Arduino.
Wiring Notes
Use a quality USB-C power supply capable of delivering at least 3A to avoid undervoltage warnings. The GPIO pins are directly connected to the SoC; always double-check pin assignments before making connections. For permanent installations, consider a case with adequate ventilation and a heatsink on the processor.
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 the official Raspberry Pi 7-inch touchscreen?
Yes, the Raspberry Pi 4 supports the official DSI touchscreen out of the box. Connect the ribbon cable and power the board normally—no additional drivers are needed with Raspberry Pi OS.
Can I run two 4K displays simultaneously?
Yes, the dual micro HDMI ports support up to 4K at 60fps each, but note that high-resolution dual-display output may require enabling 4Kp60 in config.txt and adequate cooling.
What power supply do you recommend for this 2GB model?
Any 5V USB-C power supply rated for 3A output is ideal. Avoid using phone chargers that may not sustain a stable voltage under load; we recommend the official Raspberry Pi 15.3W USB-C power supply.
