The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ Compact is a streamlined mechanical adapter for Raspberry Pi 5 that connects its single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface to M.2 M-key devices in compact form (e.g., 2230). Designed to fit more cleanly within Raspberry Pi enclosures, this variant allows a 30mm M.2 PCIe card to be placed between the Pi’s USB ports and the active cooler or case lid. It supports a peak throughput of ~500 MB/s and can provide up to 3A of power to the M.2 peripheral.
The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ Compact conforms to the Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification and is autodetected by the latest Raspberry Pi software/firmware.
