40-pin GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi

This 175mm long GPIO (general purpose input/output) ribbon cable lets you extend the reach of your Raspberry Pi's pins, bridging them out to other boards or PCBs.

The Raspberry Pi's GPIO can be used for all sorts: twiddling pins on or off, providing 3.3V or 5V power, communicating with I2C or SPI devices, and much more. This cable gives you a bit more flexibility in where you route those signals.

This cable works great with our pHAT Stack and Mini Black HAT Hack3r boards.

Specification

  • 175mm long x 51mm wide
  • 40 wires, 2x20 pin female connectors
  • Pin 1 is marked by the white/pink wire

Notes

Be careful to connect this cable to your board the correct way around. You can't use it with a male header to connect to a HAT's female header, as the pins will be mirrored. You'll risk damaging both your board and your Raspberry Pi if you connect the cable incorrectly so, if in doubt, check the order of the pins on the connector with a multimeter before connecting things up!

    This case is perfect for the Zero2W. It comes with 3 top options including one that allows access to the IO field without having to open the case. Genius !!

    Perfect little case and nice that you get the 3 lids for varied uses. It arrived fast, was well packaged and the communications were spot on.

    Official case fo Pi Zero, It cames with 3 options, plain, for camera and for gpio. Pi zero doesn't get hot so it's not necessary any cooler option.

    Good case, good fit. I've used these before and have been happy with them. A little over-priced, perhaps, given that it's just a small piece of plastic and is nearly the price of a Pi Zero itself, but when you need a case it's a good choice.

    Fits great and the different lids are a great idea, but I wish the "closed" lid would fit on with the header installed to protect them a bit more if you decide not to use them after soldering it in...

    The Zero W just snaps straight into this perfectly, and doesn't have any issues - and three choices of lid mean versatile options for extensions via the pins, or closing it up prettily. Little rubber feet included are also appreciated, as is the space in the case to put a heatsink in.

    Fits absolutely perfect. Both the raspberry pi and the lids fit perfectly. Thanks to the thee (!) included lids you can immediately use it with the camera module or a pHat.

    Great case with a variety of lids. Doesn't quite get 5 stars as the slot for the camera cable can be very fiddly and puts quite a sharp kink in the cable it if you're looping the camera out of the case.

    Not much to say other than it does a good job of protecting the h/w while giving access to the ports. It is also easy to take apart if you need to remove / replace the micro SD card.

    I bought this for a security camera project. It did the job very well. A bonus was the superb service I received from Pimoroni as always.

    The case is perfect! Easy to put together and looks stunning. Pimoroni supplied quick delivery and easy payment. After contacting them about a question, they replied within 24 hours!

    Really quick delivery and excellent experience. Fit the pi zero w perfectly and also came with extra lids for use with camera or expansion pins.

    Very nice, high quality case, however it would be nice if there was a note that says how it only works with the official pi camera, not the mini one.

    I didn't realise this came with multiple lids, which is an added bonus on top of the already great quality and price. This fits the Pi Zero perfectly and looks nice to boot.

    Purchase Pi-zero, Pi-3A+, Pi Camera NoIR, camera case and am super satisfied so far with the service and timely email responses especially from the UK office. Thanks to all the pirates in Support.

    There are some covers I never use and I'm getting quite a collection of them. It would be great to either opt-in for the covers required or, even better, opt-out of the ones I've already got too many of. Save the planet, one PiZero case cover at a time!

    I used my Pi Zeros without a case until this one came along, the different lids make it extremely versatile. I use one with the camera, one with the header opening and one with the solid surface. Easy to access the pi if necessary and sturdy. It's now the standard issue with every Pi Zero I buy.
