Raspberry Pi Zero W – compact Wi-Fi mini-computer with Bluetooth
The Raspberry Pi Zero W is a particularly compact and energy-efficient single-board computer that offers an impressive range of functions despite its small size. With integrated Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.1/BLE , the Pi Zero W is ideal for networked embedded projects, industrial control tasks, and space-constrained IoT applications. Thanks to the proven Broadcom SoC and full support from the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, developers, system integrators, and businesses benefit from high stability, long-term availability, and a vast selection of software, operating systems, and accessories.
Compared to the classic Raspberry Pi Zero, the W version significantly expands the range of applications: Wireless communication enables direct use in headless systems, sensor gateways, or mobile devices – without any additional USB adapters. The Raspberry Pi Zero W is therefore frequently used in Industry 4.0 , automation , prototyping , education , and mass production . Its low power consumption also makes it ideal for battery-powered or energy-optimized systems.
Thanks to its identical GPIO pinout to larger Raspberry Pi models, existing circuits, HATs, and software projects can be easily adapted. Whether as a control center, communication module, or cost-effective embedded controller – the Raspberry Pi Zero W impresses with its flexibility, reliability, and excellent price-performance ratio.
Key advantages at a glance:
-
Integrated Wi-Fi & Bluetooth for wireless applications
-
Extremely compact design for embedded and industrial projects
-
Low energy consumption for continuous operation and mobile use
-
Full Raspberry Pi compatibility and long-term software support
Product variants
The Raspberry Pi Zero W is available from us in three variants :
-
Raspberry Pi Zero W – without a pre-installed GPIO header, ideal for individual soldering or SMD solutions in series projects.
-
Raspberry Pi Zero WH – with pre-soldered 40-pin GPIO header, ready for immediate use in prototyping and rapid integration
-
Raspberry Pi Zero W with loose header – GPIO pin header included and can be soldered in if required.
All variants are technically identical and differ only in the features of the GPIO header.
