Green Raspberry Pi SC1166 M.2 HAT+ board with M key slot, ribbon cable and mounting hardware

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi SC1166 M.2 HAT+ development board

SKU CH-Q60P-0BTWS

Adds M.2 M-key 2230 or 2242 devices to Raspberry Pi 5 via PCIe 2.0 at 500 MB/s peak

  • Adds M.2 M-key storage or AI accelerators to Raspberry Pi 5 via PCIe 2.0
  • Peak transfer rate of 500 MB/s over single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface
  • Fits 2230 and 2242 form-factor M.2 devices
  • Powers M.2 peripherals with up to 3 A and includes status LEDs
  • Ships with ribbon cable, 16 mm stacking header, spacers, screws and M.2 retainer

M.2 HAT+ for Raspberry Pi 5

The SC1166 board adds a single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface to the Raspberry Pi 5, enabling M.2 M-key devices in 2230 or 2242 form factors. It conforms to the HAT+ specification and ships with a ribbon cable, stacking header, spacers and screws. The board can deliver up to 3A to the attached peripheral and includes power and activity LEDs.

Ideal for storage and AI add-ons

Developers needing NVMe storage or an AI accelerator on a Pi 5 will find this HAT+ a direct fit. Builders who require multiple M.2 slots, larger 2280 devices, or a different single-board computer cannot use this board. Projects without a Pi 5 PCIe connector should look elsewhere.

Single-lane PCIe 2.0 at 500 MB/s peak

The sole high-speed link is a single-lane PCIe 2.0 connection rated at 500 MB/s peak transfer rate. This bandwidth ceiling determines whether a specific NVMe drive or accelerator can perform as expected. Verify your peripheral's throughput needs against this limit before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the SC1166 M.2 HAT+ fit on my existing Raspberry Pi 5 without blocking other ports?

The board follows the Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification and uses a 16 mm stacking header, so it sits above the Pi 5’s GPIO header while leaving the other connectors accessible.

How can I confirm the PCIe 2.0 link is running at the expected 500 MB/s after I install an M.2 device?

Check the kernel log for the negotiated link speed and run a storage benchmark such as fio; a single-lane PCIe 2.0 connection should show throughput close to 500 MB/s.

Which mounting parts come in the box and do I need to buy any extra screws for a 2242 drive?

The package includes a ribbon cable, 16 mm stacking header, threaded spacers, standard screws and a knurled double-flanged screw that secures both 2230 and 2242 form-factor devices; no extra hardware is required.
