Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Single-Board Computer

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is a versatile credit card-sized single-board computer and represents the latest expansion stage of the third generation. At its core is a Broadcom BCM2837B0 with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores and a clock rate of 1.4 GHz, providing about 15 percent more computing power compared to its predecessor Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. For wireless communication, it includes dual-band Wi-Fi according to 802.11ac (2.4 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth 4.2 with low energy support. The revised Ethernet controller achieves a practical throughput of around 300 Mbit/s via the internal USB 2.0 connection and supports Power-over-Ethernet, as long as a suitable PoE HAT is attached. Note: The model is discontinued (End-of-Life) and is no longer produced; for new projects, the current Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5 is recommended.

Features:

• Quad-core processor Broadcom BCM2837B0 with 1.4 GHz for significantly increased computing power compared to its predecessor
• Dual-band Wi-Fi according to 802.11ac on 2.4 and 5 GHz for stable wireless connection
• Bluetooth 4.2 with Bluetooth Low Energy support for modern radio peripherals
• Gigabit Ethernet controller with around 300 Mbit/s effective throughput and PoE preparation
• 40-pin GPIO header with UART, SPI, I2C, and PWM for connecting external hardware
• Wide software support for Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and Windows 10 IoT

Application Examples:

• Set up a media center with Kodi or LibreELEC in the living room
• Operate as a smart home gateway with Home Assistant or Node-RED
• Use as a small home or network server for Pi-hole, NAS, or VPN
• Learning and experimentation platform for Linux, Python, and basic electronics
• Central unit for IoT projects with sensors, camera, and cloud connectivity
