Raspberry Pi Zero Without Headers
- The Raspberry Pi Zero W is here, and it’s got a major upgrade! Can you guess what it is? (Hint: W). No, it’s not just a letter—it stands for WiFi!
- That’s right! The Pi Zero W now comes with built-in WiFi, thanks to the addition of the BCM43143 WiFi chip. Sound familiar? It’s the same chip used in the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. And just like the Pi 3, the Pi Zero W also includes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), making it even more versatile.
- We’re particularly excited about this upgrade because it allows us to ditch those cumbersome communication peripherals like Ethernet cables or WiFi dongles. The best part? The Pi Zero W has the same form factor, connections, and mounting holes as the Pi Zero v1.3, so you can use most of your existing accessories—just without needing a separate WiFi dongle!
- The Pi Zero W still packs all the core features of the original Pi Zero, including a microSD card slot, mini HDMI port, two micro USB ports (one for power, one for data), 512MB of RAM, and a single-core 1GHz processor. All of this is packed into the smallest, slimmest Raspberry Pi yet.
- In addition to the Pi Zero’s functionality, the Pi Zero W adds 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, making it an even more powerful tool for a wide range of projects.
Features:
- 1Ghz, Single-core CPU
- 512MB RAM
- Mini HDMI and USB On-The-Go ports
- Micro USB power
- HAT-compatible 40-pin header
Package Includes:
- 1 x Raspberry Pi Zero W Without Headers

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this board include the GPIO header pins?
No. The Raspberry Pi Zero Without Headers ships without any pre-soldered GPIO pins, allowing you to choose and solder the header style—right-angle, straight, or individual wires—that best fits your enclosure or project.
Can I connect a Raspberry Pi camera module?
Yes. This model features the same CSI camera connector as the Pi Zero v1.3, so you can attach official Raspberry Pi camera modules or compatible third-party cameras with a 15-pin ribbon cable.
What power supply is recommended?
Use a stable 5 V/2.5 A DC supply via the micro USB power port. A higher-quality adapter helps maintain performance under load, especially if you attach USB peripherals through an OTG adapter.
