The Ultimate Ultra-Compact IoT Brain
When space is at a premium but you still need the power of a full Linux operating system, the Raspberry Pi Zero W is your go-to solution. Measuring an incredibly tiny 65mm × 30mm × 5mm, this motherboard is designed to fit into the tightest enclosures. Powered by the reliable Broadcom BCM2835 SoC and a 1GHz ARM11 processor, it effortlessly handles lightweight programming tasks, automated scripts, and retro gaming emulation without breaking a sweat.
Built-in Wireless Connectivity for Smart Homes
Unlike the original Pi Zero, the "W" model comes equipped with essential wireless capabilities out of the box. Featuring 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless LAN (WiFi) and Bluetooth 4.1 (Classic & Low Energy), you no longer need to waste valuable USB ports on external dongles. This makes it the ultimate foundation for building wireless security cameras, Bluetooth audio receivers, or a centralized Home Assistant hub to control your smart devices.
Pro Tip from Our Technicians
"To keep the board as slim as possible, the Raspberry Pi Zero W comes with an unpopulated GPIO header. This means you will need to solder your own 40-pin header if you plan to connect external sensors or HATs. If you are new to soldering or need advice on which GPIO pins to use for your specific STEM project, drop by our Sham Shui Po store! Our team has over two decades of DIY electronics experience and can help you pick the right accessories."

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
- Does the Raspberry Pi Zero W come with pre-soldered GPIO pins?No, to maintain its ultra-slim 5mm profile, the GPIO header is unpopulated. You will need to solder a 40-pin header yourself if you wish to connect jumper wires, sensors, or HATs.
- What kind of power supply do I need for the Pi Zero W?The board requires a high-quality 5V micro-USB power supply. Because it has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, we recommend a power supply that can deliver at least 1.2A to 2.0A to ensure stable wireless performance.
- Can I use this board to run a full desktop operating system?While it can run the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment, the 1GHz single-core CPU and 512MB RAM are best suited for "headless" setups (operated via SSH without a monitor) for IoT tasks, rather than heavy web browsing.
