Raspberry Pi Zero Heatsink

If your Pi 3 / Pi Zero / Yukon project is particularly resource-hungry then it may run a little hot. Cool it down with this nifty little heatsink!

Simply remove the backing from the pre-applied thermal tape and stick it on top of the main processor chip on your Raspberry Pi. We've even left a window in our Pibow 3 Coupé case lid to accommodate it!

You can also use these heatsinks with Pimoroni Yukon to cool modules that are drawing lots of power. We'd suggest using the extra tall 14mm version for this, for maximum cooling. 🍦

If you want to use HAT boards (or other GPIO addons) with your Raspberry Pi then make sure you pick the 6mm option as this will not clash!

  • 14.5mm x 14.5mm (in 6mm, 7.5mm and 14mm heights)
  • Ideal for use with Raspberry Pi 3 / Zero / Zero W / Zero 2 W / Yukon
  • Matte black finish
  • Made from anodised aluminium
  • Comes with pre-applied thermal tape for easy installation
  • Anodised non-conductive coating

Bought the Pi 3a+ it to run OctoPrint. I was concerned that 512MB of RAM wouldn’t hack it but it’s works perfectly. Delivery was quick within 48hrs.

The Pi 3A+ specification was a good match for my application of installing MotionEyeOS to be used for a security camera and occasionally as a wildlife camera. I have made these with the Pi Zero and the Pi 3 A+ provides a better performance in a suitably compact size. My camera project fitted into a standard 68WX100LX50H sealed, clear lid box. This allowed the camera to be mounted inside to look through the lid to protect it and the Pi from the elements. I also prefer the camera connection this model compared to the zero that is more delicate or prone to connection issues. I was particularly grateful to be able to buy this board at times of short supply at the standard price prior to the shortage. Thanks Pimoroni!

I can't believe how small and powerful these things have gotten! Pint size power! I have been faithfully using Raspberry PI's since the model B, so its been about 10 years now! I have to say that I recon this is one of the best inventions of the century! It can only get smaller and more powerful from here on out! Pimoroni is the best place to get PI'S in general, and the only place to get them at the moment! I used this one to build a MT32 PI to go with another amazing invention, The MiSTer FPGA... Thanks Pimoroni!

Paired with Emu68 this is something my beloved Amiga500 loves very much! :)

While many people will try to always go for the newest or fastest boards - and even overclocking, there are many other times, particularly in audio applications where circuit noise and RF are what you need to avoid. The Pi has long been criticised for the way it shares its Ethernet port with the onboard USB port and the extra USB ports on most Pi's are noisy as implemented as a hub, not individual channels. This is where the Model 3A scores massively. By ditching the noisy Pi's Ethernet implementation along with the unnecessary extra USB ports, you get a board that is very, very quiet from the RF standpoint - ideal for hifi audio HAT's. Add in the lower current draw and you have the ideal Pi for high definition audio. Fabricate a simple HAT-sized screening plate mounted from 2mm copper like I did and you place a virtual Faraday cage screen for your HAT, killing any Pi circuit noise stone dead. Perfect! Forget the 3B and faster but noisy 4, get this and take a giant step on your journey towards audio utopia!

Worked spot on for the game emulator I made for my son to show him what games were like when I was younger a lot younger

Excellent, Bought f0r the purpose of powering an MT32pi with the MiSTer hat, rather than use a larger "full fat" raspberry pi. Runs cool and flawlessly, providing an excellent recreation of the Roland MT32 with my MiSTer. Delivery was very fast as usual from Pimoroni.
