Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3

Please note: this is the original Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3. It does not have built-in WiFi or Bluetooth, and the 40-pin GPIO header is not soldered. Need wireless? See the Raspberry Pi Zero W, the Zero WH with a pre-soldered header, or the up to five times faster Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Want everything in one box? See our Zero W Budget Pack, Zero W Basic Kit and Zero 2 W Starter Kit.

Raspberry Pi Zero is a super-small, hackable, and ultra-low-cost computer. This is an update to the original version, now with a camera connector. Unbelievably the super-small and super-affordable Raspberry Pi just got even smaller and even cheaper! Pi Zero is the heart of a Raspberry Pi on a tiny 65mm x 30mm board. With mini-HDMI, micro-B OTG USB, and the same 40-pin GPIO it still has great connectivity although you'll probably want an adapter kit to help you hook it up to your existing devices. Its tiny size and low power draw make it a great fit for IoT devices, wearables, embedded, and battery-powered projects.

Features

• Broadcom BCM2835, 1GHz single-core ARM11 processor
• 512MB RAM
• microSD card slot
• Mini-HDMI port, 1080p60 video output
• Micro USB OTG port (data)
• Micro USB power
• CSI camera connector (requires the Raspberry Pi Zero camera cable)
• Unpopulated HAT-compatible 40-pin GPIO header (same layout as Raspberry Pi A+ / B+ / 2B / 3B)
• Composite video and reset headers
• Dimensions: 65mm × 30mm × 5mm
• Weight: 9g

What's in the box

• 1 × Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 board.

Power supply, microSD card, cables, and GPIO header are sold separately.

Getting started

To get started with Zero V1.3, you’ll need:

• A microSD card with Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) — buy one pre-loaded, or flash your own with Raspberry Pi Imager
• A 5V micro USB power supply — use a dedicated supply: a computer USB port may not deliver stable power, which can corrupt the SD card
• A mini-HDMI to HDMI cable or adapter and a USB/Ethernet hub to connect a display, keyboard, and mouse
• A 2x20 male header, if you plan to use HATs or GPIO cables — the header is not soldered
• Using a camera? You’ll need the Raspberry Pi Zero camera cable — the standard camera cable does not fit the Zero’s smaller connector
