The Raspberry Pi Camera 15‑Pin 15 cm Cable provides a reliable bridge between legacy 15‑pin camera modules and the newer 22‑pin camera connector found on the Raspberry Pi 5 and Zero series. Engineered with a high‑quality polyimide flexible flat cable, it maintains the full MIPI CSI data bandwidth while adapting pin spacing and connector size, enabling seamless integration of V1, V2, or HQ camera modules across multiple Raspberry Pi platforms.

Specifications

• Cable Type: Flexible Flat Cable (FFC)


• Connector Types: 15‑pin (standard camera) to 22‑pin (new CSI/DSI)


• Length: 15 cm


• Pitch (Pin Spacing): 1.0 mm on the 15‑pin side, 0.5 mm on the 22‑pin side


• Width: Approximately 10–12 mm


• Material: Polyimide / PET flexible film


• Conductor: Copper traces laminated between insulation


• Orientation: Opposite‑side contacts (Type B)


• Compatibility: Raspberry Pi 5, Zero, Zero W, Zero 1.3, and legacy models with 15‑pin ports


• Transmission Quality: High‑frequency compatible for camera data signals


• Operating Temperature: –20 °C to +80 °C (typical)

Applications

• Connecting standard Pi Camera Modules (V1, V2, HQ) to Raspberry Pi 5 boards


• Integrating camera modules into Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, and Zero 1.3 projects


• Retrofitting legacy Raspberry Pi 3/4/2/1B+ systems with newer camera hardware


• Compact routing in custom enclosures where space constraints demand a flat, flexible cable


• Prototyping and development of vision‑based applications across multiple Raspberry Pi generations
