Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH - Soldered Headers

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH is the Zero 2 W with a 40-pin GPIO header already soldered on at the factory. You can plug in HATs, pHATs and jumper wires straight away, with no soldering iron needed. Under the header it is the same board: a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 at 1GHz, 512MB of RAM, and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This is an official Raspberry Pi product, shipped from Australian stock.

Planning a slim build or want to fit your own header? The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W comes with the GPIO footprint unpopulated.

Why choose the WH

• Ready for HATs and add-ons as soon as it's out of the box
• Clean, reliable factory-soldered joints, which suits classrooms and beginners
• Easy breadboard prototyping with jumper wires for sensors, LEDs and buttons
• Works with Pi Zero add-ons like the Adafruit PiOLED display and UPS HAT (C) battery backup

What you can build with it

• Sensor and home automation projects using the GPIO, I2C and SPI pins
• Pi-hole network ad blocker or small always-on server
• Cameras and timelapse rigs with a Raspberry Pi camera
• Robotics and motor control with add-on boards
• Retro gaming handhelds and compact media players

What you'll need to get started

• A 5V 2.5A micro USB power supply, such as the official Raspberry Pi Zero power supply
• A microSD card with Raspberry Pi OS, such as our 32GB card with Raspberry Pi OS preloaded
• A mini HDMI to HDMI cable if you're connecting a monitor
• A micro USB OTG cable for a USB keyboard, mouse or drive

Running it headless over Wi-Fi? You only need the power supply and microSD card.

Cases for the Zero 2 WH

With the header fitted, choose a case that leaves the GPIO open. The official red/white Zero case includes a GPIO access lid. You can also browse all Raspberry Pi Zero cases, or the Ethernet / USB hub box for a wired network setup.
