If you are a first time user, then take a look at our **free** [Raspberry Pi Workshop](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/courses/raspberry-pi-workshop-for-beginners/) (30 videos) to help quick-start your adventures for everyday computing through to Internet of Things projects. Our [Starter Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-starter-kit.html) is good value as it includes all the essential accessories needed to begin your projects. **Features:** - Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC @ 1.4GHz - 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM - 2.4GHz and 5GHz IEEE 802.11.b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2, BLE - Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 (maximum throughput 300Mbps) - 4 × USB 2.0 ports - 40-pin GPIO header - 1 × full-size HDMI - 5.1V/2.5A DC Input Power ([5.1V recommended](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-power-supply.html) for performance and stability) - [Official Raspberry Pi Foundation Product Release Document (all specs and features)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/Raspberry-Pi-Model-B+-Plus-Features-and-Specs.pdf) At the heart of this board is a Broadcom BCM2837B0 - it's a 64-bit 1.4Ghz Quad-Core processor that is referred to as the "System on Chip" (SoC for short). Alongside the SoC is RAM and other essential hardware, leaving you with an incredibly cost-effective personal computer that has enough oomph to run a range of operating systems, play high definition video, even retro gaming. To get your Pi up and running you'll need: - [Power Supply 5.1V 2.5Amp](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-power-supply.html) - [Official Raspberry Pi 3 Case](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-case-enclosure.html) recommended for safe handling and storage (to avoid static discharge and accidental component knocks) - [16GB MicroSD Card with NOOBS](https://core-electronics.com.au/16gb-microsd-card-with-noobs-for-all-raspberry-pi-boards.html) And to control your Pi and see what's going on you'll also need: - [HDMI Cable 1M](https://core-electronics.com.au/hdmi-cable-1m.html) - [Minature Keyboard with Touchpad Mouse](https://core-electronics.com.au/miniature-wireless-usb-keyboard-with-touchpad.html) If you need more ideas, then take a look at our [community projects](https://core-electronics.com.au/projects) created with Raspberry Pi, or our wide range of [tutorials](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/). **Upgrading from the previous model? Here are some tips:** - You will need to download the **latest version of NOOBS / Raspbian** for this board to function. Older versions will result with a "Rainbow Screen" along with a "Lightning Bolt" symbol. Setup a fresh copy of NOOBS and you are ready to go ([here's how](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/how-to-create-a-noobs-microsd-card/) - or get a [preloaded card](https://core-electronics.com.au/16gb-microsd-card-with-noobs-for-all-raspberry-pi-boards.html)). - The RPi 3 B has the same form factor as the previous RPi 3 B (older RPi 3 enclosures will fit). - Custom/tight fitting enclosures may have an obstruction with the taller SoC package - doesn't affect anyone using official or popular RPi cases. ### Technical Specifications and Documents - [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B product brief](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/Raspberry-Pi-Model-Bplus-Product-Brief_27968683d6a.pdf) - [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B mechanical drawing](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/raspberry-pi-3-b-plus-mechanical-drawing_14070da10be.pdf) - [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B schematic diagrams](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/raspberry-pi-3-b-plus-reduced-schematics_76713124639.pdf) - [Compliance](https://pip.raspberrypi.com/categories/532-raspberry-pi-3-model-b) ## Guides for this product - [How To Control A Motor with the Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/how-to-control-a-motor-with-the-raspberry-pi/) - [How to Make a Safe Shutdown Button for Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/how-to-make-a-safe-shutdown-button-for-raspberry-pi/) - [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Performance vs Raspberry Pi 3 Model B](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-plus-performance-vs-3-model-b/) - [WS2812 / NeoPixel Addressable LEDs: Raspberry Pi Quickstart Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/ws2812-addressable-leds-raspberry-pi-quickstart-guide/) ## Videos for this product - [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Performance vs Raspberry Pi 3 Model B](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-performance-vs-raspberry-pi-3-model-b) - [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Unboxing, Specs and Features](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-unboxing-specs-and-features) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/r/a/raspberry-pi-3-model-b_-plus.png)
