Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ Kits
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A Plus is the latest board for the minimalist Pi fan. Like the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, it boasts a 64-bit quad core processor running at 1.4 GHz, dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 4.3/BLE. This low-cost Pi uses the same processor as the model 3 B+ but does away with the Ethernet jack and three USB ports. It’s still compatible with all Pi operating systems and software, and has the same 40-pin GPIO connector and camera/display sockets, so any HATs or Pi Plates or other things that plug into the model B+ will work just the same.
It also has the same HDMI, sound/composite connector, and microUSB connector for power.
Unlike the Raspberry Model B+, there’s only one USB port and no Ethernet jack, but it’s also significantly smaller at 65mm x 56mm if you don’t include an overhang from the connectors. The USB port is set in and sticks up quite a bit compared to the very slim Pi Zero, if you’re using HATs or bonnets with the Pi A+ that sit flat, please use some tape or a GPIO spacer to avoid shorts between the USB port and any pads on the bonnet.
