{"title":"Expansion Shield X300 for Raspberry Pi B+/2B/3B","handle":"expansion-shield-x300-for-raspberry-pi-b-2b-3b","url":"/products/expansion-shield-x300-for-raspberry-pi-b-2b-3b","description":"The X300 Expansion Shield is a feature-rich add-on board for the Raspberry Pi B+, 2B, and 3B. It integrates a wide range of connectivity and multimedia functions including SATA, WiFi, Bluetooth, a real-time clock, audio I/O, and a powered USB hub — all in a board that sits directly on top of the Pi's GPIO header with no soldering required.\n\nThe board includes its own step-down DC/DC power converter (6–18 V input to 5 V / 4 A output) to power both the shield and the Raspberry Pi. A duplicated 40-pin header on top allows additional HATs and expansion boards to be stacked.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nSATA Interface – Connect SATA storage devices to your Raspberry Pi\n\nWiFi – IEEE 802.11 b/g/n with external antenna\n\nBluetooth – Serial communication module\n\nReal-Time Clock – DS3231SN with CR2032 battery backup\n\n3-Port USB Hub – Self-powered for peripherals and storage\n\nAudio I/O – 3.5 mm mic in, 3.5 mm stereo out, SPDIF output, stereo amplifier (3.3 W × 2)\n\nIR Sensor – 38 kHz infrared receiver for remote control\n\nIntegrated Power Supply – 6–18 V DC input, 5 V / 4 A regulated output\n\nStackable – Duplicated 40-pin header supports additional expansion boards\n\nCamera Slot – Flex cable pass-through for the Pi camera\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nInput Voltage – 6–18 V DC\n\nOutput – 5 V / 4 A (step-down DC/DC)\n\nDimensions – 85 × 56 mm (same as Raspberry Pi)\n\nRTC Chip – DS3231SN\n\nWiFi Standard – 802.11 b/g/n\n\n\nCompatibility\n\nRaspberry Pi Model B+\nRaspberry Pi 2 Model B\nRaspberry Pi 3 Model B\n\n\n\nWarning: When powering the Raspberry Pi through the X300's power input, do not simultaneously power the Pi via its Micro-USB port. Dual power sources may damage the board.\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× X300 Expansion Board\n1× USB adapter\n1× 2.4 GHz WiFi antenna\n4× Nylon spacers (M3 × 20 mm)\n8× Nylon screws (M3 × 6 mm)\n\n\nResources\n\nDriver Download and User Manual\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":12608,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-DFR0358","price":100.5,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":1,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
