Raspberry Pi Case

Raspberry Pi buy housing?

The housings are not supplied with the samen Raspberry Pi delivered. We recommend purchasing a housing with it. The housing prevents dust from entering your Raspberry Pi. The components are therefore much better protected. At the same time, the Raspberry Pi better take a beating. Because the housing is not directly included, you can choose a housing that meets your needs. There are many different types of enclosures to choose from.

What should you pay attention to when buying a housing?

In addition to protecting the Raspberry Pi do you want you Raspberry Pi also stays cool. You can do this passively with heatsinks or a Raspberry Pi heat sink case. You can also actively do this with a fan. Think carefully about what is needed for your project. The Raspberry Pi heatsink case with fans is most popular case. This cools both passively and actively. Many enclosures are not completely sealed; there may still be dust. This is not the case with a closed housing. A closed housing can be useful if you are not going to use GPIO pins or a camera. Note that the Pi heats up faster in a closed housing. Are you going to get started with the GPIO pins? then a housing that has kept space for it is a good choice.

Please note: there are differences between the housings of, for example, the Raspberry 3B and 4B. There the connections are not in the same place.
