Description:

Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+

• The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is a new and improved version of the 2018 model. It features a Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.4GHz quad-core processor, dual-band wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE. It has the same mechanical format as the Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+.
• This Pi is ideal for minimalists who want a low-cost, low-power, and compact board. It uses the same processor as the model B+, but it has only one USB port and no ethernet jack. It measures 65mm x 56mm without the connectors.
• It supports all Pi operating systems and software and has a 40-pin GPIO header and camera/display sockets that are compatible with any HATs or Pi Plates or other accessories that work with the model B+.
• It also has a HDMI port, a sound/composite connector, and a micro-USB connector for power.
• To use this Pi, you will need a USB power supply with a micro-USB cable, and a microSD card with a Raspberry Pi OS on it (we recommend a Raspbian 4G card or NooBS 8G card).

To Get Started You’ll Need:

• A micro-SD card with NOOBS (see Software & OS tab)
• A high-quality 2.5A micro-USB power supply, such as the official Raspberry Pi Universal Power Supply

Which operating systems are compatible with this board?

This Model A+ supports all standard Raspberry Pi operating systems, including Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian), Ubuntu Server for ARM, and third-party lightweight Linux distributions.

How do I connect a camera or touch display?

Use the CSI camera port to attach an official Raspberry Pi Camera Module and the DSI display port for the Raspberry Pi Touch Display. Both sockets are fully compatible with existing Pi accessories.
