WaveShare Aluminum Heatsink with Thermal Tapes for Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W/Zero W/Zero WH

SKU CH-1REY-DDCVN

Aluminum heatsink with three thermal tapes cools Raspberry Pi Zero models and includes installation hardware

  • Efficient cooling for multiple Pi Zero models with dedicated aluminum heatsink
  • Corrosion-resistant aluminum construction maintains thermal performance over time
  • Pre-cut thermal tapes included for quick, mess-free installation
  • Compact 2.50 x 1.10 x .118 inch profile fits tight enclosures
  • Complete kit with wrench sleeve, screwdriver and screws for immediate setup

Aluminium Heatsink for Pi Zero

The aluminium heatsink is built for Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, Zero 2 WH, Zero, Zero W and Zero WH boards. It adds a corrosion-resistant metal surface that draws heat away from the processor without adding active cooling. The low-profile design fits the compact footprint of all listed Zero models. Builders seeking silent thermal improvement for headless or embedded projects will find it a direct fit.

Bundled Tapes and Tools

Three thermal tapes are included to secure the heatsink to the SoC and nearby components without soldering or adhesive mess. A mini cross wrench sleeve, screwdriver and screw pack let you mount the assembly to the board’s mounting holes in minutes. The kit removes the need to source separate fasteners or thermal interface material. Everything required for installation ships in one package.

Thermal Headroom for Light Loads

The 2.50 x 1.10 x .118 inch heatsink raises the thermal mass enough for typical IoT, media-playback or lightweight server workloads. Under sustained heavy compute the passive fin area will eventually saturate and temperatures climb. It is not suited for overclocked operation or enclosed cases without airflow. Buyers expecting fan-level cooling should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the thermal tapes need replacing after long-term use?

The kit includes three thermal tapes so you can re-apply fresh adhesive if the original pads lose tack or dry out over time.

What stops the heatsink from cooling the Zero 2 W under continuous load?

The 2.50 x 1.10 x .118 inch aluminum block relies on passive convection, so its surface area is the limiting factor when the CPU runs at full speed for long periods.

Does the heatsink add any fan noise or extra power draw when the Pi runs all day?

No — the cooler is a solid aluminum piece with no moving parts and no electrical connection, so it adds zero noise and zero power consumption.
