Hello everyone and welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics. If you stopped by on Tuesday this week, you might have seen our first product, the M.2 HAT+ from Raspberry Pi! This add-on board easily fits atop your Raspberry Pi and allows it to connect to a standard M.2 peripheral device of your choosing. Following that we have the final three iFixit products (at least for now) with a new tweezer set, a head magnifier, and five feet of polyimide tape. Now, let's jump in and take a closer look at all of this week's new products!
The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ enables you to connect M.2 peripherals such as NVMe drives and AI accelerators to Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 interface, supporting fast (up to 500 MB/s) data transfer to and from NVMe drives and other PCIe accessories.
Grab everything from screws to eyebrows with iFixit's Precision Tweezers Set. The complete tweezer kit for all holding, pulling, squeezing, picking up, and plucking jobs. This set includes a pointed tweezer for ultimate precision, an angled tweezer for ergonomic accuracy, and a blunt tweezer for heavy lifting.
This is an update on the classic head magnifier! The iFixit Head Magnifier has two bi-lenses (the second lens flips down from inside) and one loupe, allowing four magnification levels from 1.5x to 7.5x. Its LED lighting is built in and uses two AAA batteries (not included).
Polyimide tape is utilized in electronic components for space exploration as well as Apple products. It is a low-outgassing material with high temperature resistance, excellent thermal conductivity, and low radiation interference. Indispensable as masking in wave soldering and powder coating, Polyimide's properties make it ideal for electric insulation in X-Ray devices and radioactive environments too.
That's it for this week. As always, we can't wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or let us know on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Please be safe out there, be kind to one another! We'll be back with more new products next week so make sure to check back then. Happy hacking!
