• Single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface (500 MB/s peak transfer rate)
• Supports devices that use the M.2 M key edge connector
• Supports devices with the 2230 or 2242 form factor
• Supplies up to 3A to connected M.2 devices
• Power and activity LEDs

The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT M Key enables you to connect M.2 peripherals such as NVMe drives and other PCIe accessories to Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe interface. The M.2 HAT adapter board converts between the PCIe connector on Raspberry Pi 5 and a single M.2 M key edge connector. You can connect any device that uses the 2230 or 2242 form factors. The M.2 HAT can supply up to 3A of power. The M.2 HAT uses Raspberry Pi’s HAT specification, which allows Raspberry Pi OS to automatically detect the HAT and any connected devices. The included threaded spacers provide ample room to fit the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler beneath an M.2 HAT . The M.2 HAT is only compatible with the Raspberry Pi Case for Raspberry Pi 5 if you remove the lid and the included fan.
