LORDWORLD PCIe to MiniPCIe HAT+ 16-pin development board

SKU CH-M9QQ-D00SW

Adds MiniPCIe expansion to Raspberry Pi 5 via 16-pin cable, supporting wireless NICs, AI modules and USB Bluetooth

  • Driver-free plug-and-play setup on Raspberry Pi 5
  • Connects via 16-pin PCIe cable to the Pi 5
  • Accepts MiniPCIe wireless NICs and AI modules
  • Enables USB Bluetooth input after NIC installation
  • Includes thermal tape for official active cooler mounting

Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe HAT+

This development board converts the Raspberry Pi 5 16-pin PCIe interface to a MiniPCIe slot. It targets makers and engineers who need to add wireless NICs or AI accelerator modules to the single-board computer without custom wiring.

Driver-free MiniPCIe expansion

The adapter operates plug-and-play once a compatible MiniPCIe card is installed. Adding a wireless NIC also enables a USB Bluetooth pathway into the Pi, letting the module feed Bluetooth signals through the board's USB connection without extra drivers.

Thermal-tape mounting with official cooler

Installation requires applying the supplied thermal tapes before fitting the official Raspberry Pi Active Cooler on top of the HAT. The 16-pin cable routes the PCIe link away from the Pi's GPIO header, keeping the primary expansion header free for other add-ons.

Questions about this item

Will the 16-pin PCIe cable or thermal tapes need replacement after extended use?

The HAT+ connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 through a 16-pin PCIe cable and installs with supplied thermal tapes and the official active cooler; both are passive components with no defined service interval.

What limits throughput when a MiniPCIe network card runs continuously on this adapter?

Sustained throughput is bounded by the Raspberry Pi 5's single-lane PCIe Gen 2 link and the MiniPCIe card's own capabilities, not by the HAT+ itself.

Does the board add audible noise or extra heat when a wireless module runs all day?

The adapter has no fan or active parts; heat comes from the installed MiniPCIe module and is managed by the Pi 5's official active cooler mounted above the HAT+.
