Compatibility
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ runs the official Raspberry Pi OS, as well as Ubuntu, LibreELEC, and Android. It works with most Raspberry Pi HATs and accessories designed for the 40-pin GPIO header. The board is compatible with 5V micro-USB power supplies rated at 2.5A or higher.
Wiring Notes
Connect standard 2.54mm pitch GPIO accessories directly. Use a 5V/2.5A power adapter to avoid undervoltage warnings; for PoE, the official PoE HAT is required and connects via the 4-pin header near the USB ports. Ensure proper cooling if operating under continuous load.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with standard Raspberry Pi cases?
Yes, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ maintains the same dimensions and port layout as the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, so it fits cases and enclosures designed for the Pi 3 family, including official cases.
Can I use this for a media center?
Absolutely, it supports 1080p video output via HDMI and can run media center software like LibreELEC or OSMC. For 4K content, consider a more powerful model like the Raspberry Pi 4.
Does it include a microSD card with NOOBS?
No, the board alone does not include a microSD card or pre-installed software. You'll need to purchase a Class 10 microSD card separately and flash the OS of your choice using the Raspberry Pi Imager tool.
