17. Fan Connector

There is a fan connector near the green power input connector. It is a 2-pin PH2.0 connector and you

can connect a 5V fan to it. This connector can not control the fan speed.

18. Power and Reset Button Connectors

Aside the power button and reset button, there are two small connectors. Which allow you to connect

external momentary push buttons and route them to different location.

19. Case Kit for PiGear Nano

It is possible to put PiGear Nano into a case. We have designed a

black case kit

for PiGear Nano,

and the STL files will be published soon. You may also order this case kit from our e-shop.
