Description
Raspberry Pi 0 W: the 65 x 30 mm wireless Raspberry Pi Zero W
The Raspberry Pi Zero W is the smallest Raspberry Pi computer with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. On a 65 x 30 x 5 mm board, it combines a 1 GHz single-core processor, 512 MB of memory, a mini-HDMI output, a USB OTG port, a camera connector and the footprint for a 40-pin GPIO. It is the ideal base for connected devices, sensors, small cameras and builds where space and power consumption matter more than performance.
Highlights
- Tiny : at 65 x 30 x 5 mm, it slips into a sensor enclosure or a toy.
- Built-in wireless : Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1 with Bluetooth Low Energy.
- CSI camera connector for Raspberry Pi camera modules (with a suitable ribbon cable).
- 40-pin GPIO with the Raspberry Pi pinout, HAT compatible.
- Understated : around 150 mA at idle according to the official documentation.
- Deux versions : with the GPIO header already soldered or without a header, depending on your build.
- Production guaranteed until at least January 2030.

Which one to choose? Zero W, Raspberry Pi 3 A+ or 3 B+
| Model | Processor | Memory | Wireless | Format | For whom |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi Zero W | 1 core 1 GHz | 512 MB | Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, BT 4.1 | 65 x 30 mm | Minimalist connected device |
| Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ | 4 cores 1.4 GHz | 512 MB | Dual-band Wi-Fi, BT 4.2 | 65 x 56 mm | More power, 1 full-size USB, standard HDMI |
| Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ | 4 cores 1.4 GHz | 1 GB | Dual-band Wi-Fi, BT 4.2 | 85 x 56 mm | Ethernet, 4 USB, all-round use |
If your project fits in a few Python scripts, a sensor and a Wi-Fi connection, the Zero W is perfect. For a graphical interface, a web browser or several services, move up to a quad-core model.
Compatibility and pitfalls
- 32-bit ARMv6 processor : 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS does not run, use the 32-bit version (Lite recommended).
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only : no 5 GHz network.
- Smaller connectors : plan for a mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter and a micro-USB OTG adapter for a keyboard.
- Version without header : a 2 x 20-pin header must be soldered or pressed in for most HATs.
- Camera : the connector is the small format; a specific Zero ribbon cable (22 to 15 pins) is required.
- No DSI display or audio jack.
Recommended accessories
- official 12.5 W micro-USB power supply : stable 5.1 V, built-in cable.
- HDMI and USB adapter kit for Raspberry Pi Zero : screen and keyboard connected in seconds.
- Solderless GPIO Hammer Header : the 40-pin header without a soldering iron.
- Official case for Raspberry Pi Zero : protection and access to the camera or GPIO.
- SanDisk Ultra microSD card: for the operating system.
Uses and projects
- Ad blocker for the whole home network.
- Connected sensor : temperature, humidity or presence, with readings sent over Wi-Fi.
- Lightweight surveillance camera or time-lapse.
- Keyboard, mouse or USB device emulated via the OTG port.
Ideas: install Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi and a pet monitoring system. The whole family is gathered in the Raspberry Pi Zero boards and accessories.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the Raspberry Pi Zero W?
65 x 30 x 5 mm, the same form factor as the original Raspberry Pi Zero.
What is the difference between the Zero W and Zero WH?
The WH comes with the 40-pin GPIO header already soldered. Here, choose the version with or without header.
Which operating system should I install?
32-bit Raspberry Pi OS, ideally the Lite version, written to the microSD with Raspberry Pi Imager.
Does the Zero W have 5 GHz Wi-Fi?
No, only 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n), with Bluetooth 4.1 and BLE.
Which power supply should I use?
A quality 5 V micro-USB power supply; the official 12.5 W power supply leaves headroom for peripherals.
Can I connect a camera module?
Yes, with a camera ribbon cable suited to the Zero's small connector.
