Description
The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ enables the connection of M.2 peripherals, such as NVMe drives and AI accelerators, to the PCIe 2.0 interface of the Raspberry Pi 5. It supports fast data transfers of up to 500 MB/s to and from NVMe drives and other PCIe accessories. The interface provides a single PCI Express 2.0 channel exposed via a 16-pin, 0.5 mm connector.
the M.2 HAT+ M Key is a mechanical adapter board that converts between this connector and a sub-standard of M.2
- it supports devices with M.2 M-Key edge connectors in the 2230 and 2242 form factors
- it is capable of supplying up to 3 A to connected M.2 devices
- it complies with the Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification
- it is automatically recognized by the latest Raspberry Pi software/firmware
The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ comes with a 16 mm high stacking head and threaded standoffs so that it can be mounted on a Raspberry Pi 5 together with the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler. This configuration ensures compatibility and functionality with the latest Raspberry Pi model and supports efficient heat dissipation and stable operation of the connected M.2 devices.
Technical specifications- Supports the PCIe 2.0 interface with one lane (500 MB/s peak transfer rate)
- Supports devices that use the M.2 M-Key connector
- Supports devices with the form factors 2230 ... 2242
- Can deliver up to 3 A to connected M.2 devices
- Includes power and activity LEDs
- Complies with the Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification
Scope of delivery- Ribbon cable
- 16 mm spacer socket strip
- Threaded spacers and screws
- Screw for securing and supporting the M.2 peripheral device
In summary, the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ provides a significant enhancement for users of the Raspberry Pi 5 by enabling extended connectivity for fast storage solutions and other peripherals that utilize PCIe technology. This helps to increase the overall performance of the system.
NoteThe original Raspberry Pi active fan fits between the Pi 5 and this M.2 HAT
