Raspberry Pi Model B+ 512MB RAM
100 units available with a short lead time.
The Raspberry Pi Model B+ is an updated revision of the original Raspberry Pi Model B, featuring improved power supply design, more USB ports, expanded GPIO, and a more convenient microSD card slot — all in the same compact form factor.
Powered by the same Broadcom SoC running at 700 MHz with 512 MB RAM, the B+ is fully software-compatible with earlier models while offering significant hardware improvements for easier integration into projects and enclosures.
Key Improvements Over Model B
- 4 USB Ports – Double the connectivity (up from 2)
- 40-Pin GPIO Header – Expanded from 26 pins; first 26 pins retain the original layout
- Improved Power Supply – Dual buck converters with polarity protection, 2 A fuse, and hot-swap protection
- MicroSD Card Slot – Push-push socket replaces the full-size SD holder
- 4 Mounting Holes – Rectangular layout for secure enclosure mounting
- Composite Video Integrated – NTSC/PAL output via 4-pole 3.5 mm A/V jack
Specifications
- Processor – Broadcom SoC, 700 MHz (overclockable)
- RAM – 512 MB
- USB – 4× USB 2.0 ports
- GPIO – 40-pin header
- Video Output – HDMI, composite via 3.5 mm jack
- Audio Output – 3.5 mm jack (shared with composite video)
- Storage – MicroSD card slot
- Networking – 10/100 Ethernet
- Power – Micro USB, 5 V
- Dimensions – 85 × 56 mm
Note: Cases designed for the original Model B will not fit the B+ due to repositioned connectors. 26-pin GPIO cables and accessories (Cobbler, GertBoard) require a 40-to-26-pin adapter cable.
Ideal For
- Linux-based computing and programming projects
- Media centres and home servers
- Electronics prototyping with GPIO
- Educational computing
