Raspberry Pi Zero V 1.3 Board with 1GHz CPU 512MB RAM RASP22

DescriptionThe Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 changed the game for makers by proving that a computer could be smaller than a credit card and cost less than a lunch. At Faranux Electronics, we stock this board for engineers and hobbyists in Kigali who need a lightweight, low-power controller for specific tasks. Unlike the “W” version, the Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 has no onboard radio signals, making it perfect for secure, offline logging or battery-powered projects where every milliamp counts.Impressive Specs in a Tiny PackageCPU: Broadcom BCM2835, which can run at up to 1GHz.RAM: 512MBPower: 5V, supplied via micro USB connector, drawing 160mA (even when connected to an HD display).Dimensions: 65mm x 30mm x 5mmVideo & Audio: 1080P HD video output. Audio output via mini-HDMI connector.Storage: MicroSD card.Operating System: Linux, installed via NOOBS.Don’t underestimate its size. The Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 runs on a Broadcom BCM2835 processor clocked at 1GHz. This makes it roughly 40% faster than the original Raspberry Pi 1. With 512MB of RAM, it is more than capable of running Raspberry Pi OS (Lite version recommended), Python scripts, and handling GPIO inputs.The “V1.3” Camera UpgradeThe original Zero didn’t have a way to see the world. The Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 revision fixed this by adding a fine-pitch CSI Camera Connector on the right side of the board. This allows you to connect an official 5MP Raspberry Camera Module to create tiny security cameras, time-lapse rigs, or wildlife monitors.Important: The connector on the Zero is smaller than the one on the Pi 3/4. You will need a specific Zero Camera Adapter Cable to make the connection.Connectivity and AccessoriesTo keep the board small, the Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 uses miniature ports:Mini HDMI: Outputs up to 1080p video (requires a Mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter).Micro USB On-The-Go (OTG): Connects keyboards, mice, or Wi-Fi dongles (requires a Micro USB shim or hub).40-Pin GPIO: The header pins are unpopulated (empty holes), giving you the freedom to solder wires directly for a permanent fit or solder on your own headers.RUN Mode Pins: There are two unpopulated RUN mode pins, which can be used to connect a reset button to the Pi Zero. Again, you’ll either have to add the pins yourself, or solder a button straight to the board.Composite Video: There’s an RCA composited video output via two (unpopulated) pins, so you can hook the Pi Zero up to older display equipment that accepts a phono plug as an input. You can check out the RCA video output in use in our Raspberry Pi Zero Retro Gaming System project right here.Perfect for Embedded ProjectsBecause it lacks power-hungry Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips, the Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 is incredibly energy efficient. It is the ideal brain for portable retro gaming consoles (like the Game Boy Zero), wearable electronics, or data loggers that run for days on a small battery.Start Building SmallIf you are ready to shrink your project, the Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 is the answer.
