The Raspberry Pi 3 is undoubtedly cool, but if your project is particularly resource-hungry then it may run a little hot. Cool it down with this nifty little heatsink!
Simply remove the backing from the pre-applied thermal tape and stick it on top of the main processor chip on the Raspberry Pi 3. We've even left a window in our Pibow 3 Coupé case lid to accommodate it!
If you want to use HAT boards (or other GPIO addons) then make sure you pick the 6mm option as this will not clash!
- 14.5mm x 14.5mm (in 7.5mm and 6mm heights)
- Ideal for use with Raspberry Pi 3
- Matte black finish
- Made from anodised aluminium
- Comes with pre-applied thermal tape for easy installation
- Anodised non-conductive coating
Note: At 7.5mm tall this heatsink may interfere with some HAT boards.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
