PowerPole Power Supply HAT for Raspberry Pi Zero (12-24V)

PowerPole Power Supply HAT for Raspberry Pi Zero

Key Features

• Low Ripple: Maintains ripple under 15 mVpp even under CPU load.
• Stackable Design: GPIO passthrough allows multiple HATs to be stacked.
• Upward Orientation: Components face up — simpler build, general usage.
• Robust Power Delivery: 12–24 V input, ±5 V output, up to 3 A current.
• RF Performance: Radiated emissions below 10 dBuV peak in 1–500 MHz tests.

Compatibility

Tested with and compatible with:

• Raspberry Pi Zero
• Raspberry Pi Zero W
• Raspberry Pi Zero WH
• Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

For Raspberry Pi 3, 4, or 5 we recommend the 2023-P-811 board for higher current needs.

Technical Specifications

• PCB Finish: ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold).
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.
• Component Orientation: Upward-facing (alternative RF-optimized downward-facing version available).
• Regulator IC: LM2596S switching regulator.
• Ripple: <15 mVpp.
• Input Voltage: 12–24 V.
• Output Voltage: ±5 V.
• Maximum Current: 3 A.
• Radiated Emissions: <10 dBuV peak (1–500 MHz range).
