15CM Raspberry Pi ZERO Camera FFC Adapter Cable

15CM Raspberry Pi ZERO Camera FFC Adapter Cable is an essential accessory for anyone looking to add imaging capabilities to their compact Raspberry Pi Zero project. This specialized adapter cable bridges the gap between the smaller Camera Serial Interface (CSI) connector on the Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, and Zero 2 W, and the standard connector on official Raspberry Pi Camera Modules. With this cable, you can easily integrate a high-resolution camera into your tiny, low-power projects, unlocking a world of applications from robotics to surveillance.

Key Features:

• Dedicated for Raspberry Pi Zero: Designed specifically to connect standard CSI cameras to the narrower CSI port on all Raspberry Pi Zero models.
• 15cm Length: Provides an ideal reach for a variety of compact enclosures and builds without excess slack.
• High-Quality FFC: Features a durable and flexible flat cable design for reliable data transmission and easy routing.
• Seamless Integration: Simply plug one end into your Pi Zero’s camera port and the other into your Raspberry Pi camera module to get started.
• Active Communication: Maintains a secure, high-speed data link, ensuring crisp image and video capture.

Technical Specifications:

• Connector Type 1 (Pi Zero Side): 15-pin, 1.0mm pitch FFC connector
• Connector Type 2 (Camera Side): 15-pin, 1.0mm pitch FFC connector (standard for Pi cameras)
• Cable Type: Flexible Flat Cable (FFC)
• Compatibility: All Raspberry Pi Zero models (Zero, Zero W, Zero 2 W) and all official Raspberry Pi Camera Modules.

Mechanical Specifications:

• Cable Material: Flexible plastic with embedded copper conductors
• Connector Material: Plastic and metal pins
• Cable Type: Flat ribbon

Dimensions:

• Cable Length: 150 mm (15 cm)
• Cable Width: ~16 mm

Pinout and Wiring:

• Pi Zero Connector: Connects to the small CSI port next to the DSI port on the Pi Zero board.
• Camera Connector: Connects to the larger CSI port on the Raspberry Pi Camera Module.
• Wiring Note: Simply insert each end of the cable into the respective ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connectors on the Pi Zero and camera module and lock the latches. The cable handles all the necessary pin-to-pin connections for you.

Datasheet Reference:

• Refer to the official Raspberry Pi Foundation camera documentation for detailed setup instructions and pinout diagrams.

Applications:

• Compact Surveillance: Build a tiny, unobtrusive camera for monitoring.
• Wearable Tech: Create a small, wearable camera for unique photography and videography.
• Robotics: Give a small robot the ability to see and navigate its environment.
• Time-Lapse Photography: Capture beautiful time-lapses with a very low-power setup.

Equivalent Models:

• Standard Raspberry Pi Camera Cable: The wider cable that ships with the standard cameras, not compatible with the Pi Zero without an adapter.
• Other Lengths: Similar adapter cables are available in 30cm or 50cm lengths for more flexible project designs.

Package Includes:

• 1 x 15CM Raspberry Pi ZERO Camera FFC Adapter Cable
