Adafruit Raspberry Pi Model 3 A+

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is the sleek option for enthusiasts looking for a compact powerhouse. It features a 64-bit quad-core processor at 1.4 GHz, dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless LAN, and Bluetooth® 4.3/BLE, making it highly efficient in connectivity.

This model eliminates the Ethernet port and reduces USB ports to one, while remaining compatible with all existing Pi operating systems and software. The consistent 40-pin GPIO connector, alongside camera and display sockets, ensures seamless integration with existing HATs or Pi plates.

Despite its compact size of 65mm x 56mm, it retains the same HDMI, sound/composite connector, and microUSB connector for power. Utilize a USB power supply with a microUSB cable, and install a Raspberry Pi OS onto your microSD card to get started.

Access premium accessories such as the Assembled Pi Cobbler Plus for enhanced pin access or the Adafruit Raspberry Pi A+ Case for protection. Connectivity is expanded with HDMIs and various size displays, making this model perfect for streamlined, versatile setups.
