# Pimoroni Flat HAT Hacker

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** PIM536 · **Brand:** [Pimoroni](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/pimoroni-australia) · **GTIN:** 769894016862
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-flat-hat-hacker.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-flat-hat-hacker.html.md))

Now at right angles! Securely attach a HAT (or two mini HATs) to your Raspberry Pi 400, so that they're pointing upwards and correctly oriented.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $18.80 (inc GST) — $17.09 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $16.41 (exc GST) · 25+ $15.89 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=PIM536:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PIM536:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Flat HAT Hacker is an easy way to attach HATs and mini HATs to the back of your Pi 400 so that their alignment matches your Pi 400's keyboard. You could use it to add a [hi res touchscreen display/control panel](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-non-touch-hyperpixel-4-0-hi-res-display-for-raspberry-pi.html) right at your fingertips, that [3.5mm audio hardware](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-pirate-audio-headphone-amp-for-raspberry-pi.html) you've been missing or even the [world's most ostentatious caps lock indicator](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-unicorn-hat-mini.html).

The top row of GPIO pins is populated with a pre-soldered header so you can attach a HAT or mini HAT easily and without fuss. Pimoroni have added a second set of contacts (with handy labels) to the middle of the board - you can solder a 40 pin header onto these if you'd like to use two mini HATs at once (or if you'd like to run wires to the GPIO for prototyping or for connecting to other circuitry). Pimoroni has also included suitably spaced mounting holes so you can secure your HATs and mini HATs in place with standoffs.

*Note: Headers and standoffs are sold separately*

**Features**

- One landing area for attaching a HATs or mini HAT, with a pre-installed 40 pin male connector
- One landing area for attaching a mini HAT, without pre-installed connector
- GPIO pins on second landing area are labelled with function and BCM pin numbers
- 10 mounting holes (so you can attach one HAT or two mini HATs).
- Pre-installed right angle 40 pin female connector for attaching to Pi's GPIO
- Soldering is only required if you want to use the second landing area!

**Notes**

- If you're planning on using multiple mini HATs in your project, you'll need to check for GPIO conflicts - [Pinout.xyz](https://pinout.xyz/#) and [pHAT Stack Configurator](https://pinout.xyz/phatstack) are useful for this!
- If you're a dangerous renegade, you could also use this board with an ordinary Raspberry Pi, in which case it would stick up vertically in 'Flag HAT Hacker' formation. This is potentially useful for mounting HATs and mini HATs at right angles to your Pi, with the Pi acting as a convenient stand!
