If you don't have an HDMI monitor, you can hook the Pi Zero up to an older display equipment that accepts RCA as video input with this header cable.RCA is one of the most common A/V connectors. This header cable can indeed be used to breakout other types of RCA composite video, RCA audio, and coaxial S/PDIF cables and connectors as well.FEATURES16.5cm cable length Review: Used with a pi 5 model B (debian v12 bookworm 64-bit). Soldered in the included headers and slid on the connectors. For anyone using a pi 5 - Once soldered in, the pin closest to the edge of the board is the Ground pin. Attach the black wire here. You can select composite output in raspi-config under the display option. You cannot use composite + HDMI at the same time. Review: Worked, but connectors were super loose. Just moving the Pi5 around caused the ground pin to pop off the provided pin headers. Used kapton tape to hold it down in the end. Best to just crimp new ones or solder directly to the pins. For $7, whatever ## Features - 16.5cm cable length - Composited video output via two (unpopulated) pins - Most common A/V connectors ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01J9LSJJO | | Brand Name | MakerSpot | | Cable Type | Composite | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Monitor | | Compatible Phone Models | No Compatible Phone Models | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | Coaxial, HDMI, RCA | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (24) | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 0.02 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | MakerSpot | | Model | 8541612059 | | Model Name | 8541612059 | | Number of Pins | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Tangle Free | | Recommended Uses For Product | connecting the Raspberry Pi Zero to a display without HDMI input | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MakerSpot - **Cable type:** Composite - **Compatible devices:** Monitor - **Connector type:** Coaxial, HDMI, RCA - **Special features:** Tangle Free ## Images ![Accessories - 2-Pin RCA (Composite Video, Audio, Coaxial S/PDIF) Female Jack Cable Dongle Adapter, Connect Pi 3 / Pi Zero W to display without HDMI monitor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31k0XV5qTxL.jpg) ![Accessories - 2-Pin RCA (Composite Video, Audio, Coaxial S/PDIF) Female Jack Cable Dongle Adapter, Connect Pi 3 / Pi Zero W to display without HDMI monitor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31389+q9D8L.jpg) ![Accessories - 2-Pin RCA (Composite Video, Audio, Coaxial S/PDIF) Female Jack Cable Dongle Adapter, Connect Pi 3 / Pi Zero W to display without HDMI monitor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31ql3-PsODL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***R on 12 October 2024* Used with a pi 5 model B (debian v12 bookworm 64-bit).

Just moving the Pi5 around caused the ground pin to pop off the provided pin headers. Used kapton tape to hold it down in the end. Best to just crimp new ones or solder directly to the pins. For $7, whatever ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***M on 16 February 2020* I used this to use the S/PDIF connections on the ASUS Tinker Board. If you have a Tinker Board and want to use it for high end audio, there are two holes on the printed circuit board between the Ethernet port and the USB ports, the two pins that come with this cable fit perfectly. Just solder those two pins in and hook red wire to the pin closest to the edge and the black wire on pin 40 of the Tinker Boards GPIO, Works perfectly. ## Frequently Bought Together - MakerSpot Accessories - 2-Pin RCA (Composite Video, Audio, Coaxial S/PDIF) Female Jack Cable Dongle Adapter, Connect Pi 3 / Pi Zero W to Display Without HDMI Monitor - JSAUX Mini HDMI to HDMI Adapter, Mini HDMI Male to HDMI Female Cable with 4K 60Hz HDR 3D 18Gbps Dolby, Compatible For DSLR,Camcorder,Graphics Card,Raspberry Pi Zero W,Laptop,Tablet,HDTV,Projector,Grey - JSAUX Micro HDMI to HDMI Adapter, Micro HDMI Male to HDMI Female Adapter Cable, 4K@60Hz HDR 3D Dolby 18Gbps, Compatible for Nikon Zfc/GoPro Hero/Raspberry Pi 4/Sony A6000 and Other Action Camera-Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/314809531-accessories-2-pin-rca-composite-video-audio-coaxial-s-pdif](https://www.desertcart.us/products/314809531-accessories-2-pin-rca-composite-video-audio-coaxial-s-pdif) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
