WaveShare Aluminum Heatsink for Raspberry Pi Zero Series

Tailored Fit for Pi Zero Models

This aluminum heatsink is designed to match the exact dimensions and mounting holes of the Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, Zero WH, Zero 2 W, and Zero 2 WH. It provides a dedicated passive cooling solution for these specific single-board computers. The kit includes the heatsink, three thermal tapes, a mini cross wrench sleeve, a screwdriver, and a screw pack for immediate installation.

Verify Board Version and Clearance

Before ordering, confirm your specific Raspberry Pi Zero model is listed in the compatibility range to ensure the mounting holes align correctly. Check that your case or enclosure has sufficient vertical clearance to accommodate the added height of the heatsink assembly. Ensure the mounting surface on the CPU is clean and free of old thermal material for optimal tape adhesion.

Passive Cooling Under Sustained Load

The corrosion and oxidation resistant aluminum construction maintains thermal conductivity over extended operating periods without degradation. Under sustained workloads, the heatsink relies on natural convection to dissipate heat continuously rather than managing only short bursts. The included thermal tapes provide a stable interface that does not pump out or dry up, ensuring consistent heat transfer during long-running tasks.
