Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ Compact

Description The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ Compact is a streamlined mechanical adapter for Raspberry Pi 5 that connects its single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface to M.2 M-key devices in compact form (e.g., 2230). Designed to fit more cleanly within Raspberry Pi enclosures, this variant allows a 30mm M.2 PCIe card to be placed between the Pi’s USB ports and the active cooler or case lid. It supports a peak throughput of ~500 MB/s and can provide up to 3A of power to the M.2 peripheral. The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ Compact conforms to the Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification and is autodetected by the latest Raspberry Pi software/firmware. Features Exposes Raspberry Pi 5’s single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface (~500 MB/s peak) Supports M.2 M-key devices, especially in 2230 (compact) form factor Delivers up to 3 A to connected M.2 peripherals Compliant with Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification; auto-detected by firmware Compact layout is small enough to allow a 30 mm M.2 card to fit between the Pi’s USB ports and cooler/case lid (improved enclosure compatibility) Includes mounting accessories: ribbon cable, stacking header, spacers, knurled screw Power and activity LEDs onboard Designed to stack with Raspberry Pi Active Cooler Documents Product Brief Assembly Instructions
