Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W - 1GHz Quad-Core, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 512MB RAM
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W — 1GHz Quad-Core with Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, 512MB RAM
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a compact single-board computer built around a Broadcom BCM2710A1 quad-core 64-bit SoC running at 1GHz. It delivers a significant performance boost over the original Zero while retaining the same tiny form factor. With integrated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and BLE, it's designed for space-constrained IoT, embedded, and portable projects.

- Compact camera for time-lapse or security with Raspberry Pi Camera Module
Compatibility
Works with any Raspberry Pi OS (Lite or Desktop), and most Linux distributions that support armhf. Compatible with standard 40-pin HATs and pHATs. Commonly paired with the Camera Module v2 via the CSI connector. GPIO logic is 3.3V; use level shifters when interfacing with 5V devices.
Wiring Notes
The 40-pin header is unpopulated; solder a standard male header or use a hammer-header for quick attachment. For power, micro USB is typical, but you can also supply 5V via pins 2 (+5V) and 6 (GND). Do not exceed 3.3V on any GPIO input pin.
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 OS?
Yes, it runs Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit and 64-bit) smoothly. The Lite version is recommended for headless setups.
Can I power it via the GPIO pins?
Yes, connect a regulated 5V supply to pin 2 (+5V) and pin 6 (GND). Avoid back-powering through the USB ports.
Does it include a pre-soldered GPIO header?
No, the 40-pin GPIO header is unpopulated. You will need to solder a 2x20 male header (not included) or use a hammer-header kit.
