Product Description
The Model B+ is the final revision of the original Raspberry Pi. It replaced the Model
B in July 2014 and was superseded
by the Raspberry
Pi 2 Model B in February 2015.
Compared to the Model B it has:
-
More GPIO. The
GPIO header has grown to 40 pins, while retaining the same pinout for the
first 26 pins as the Model A and B.
-
More USB. We now
have 4 USB 2.0 ports, compared to 2 on the Model B, and better hotplug and
overcurrent behaviour.
-
Micro SD. The
old friction-fit SD card socket has been replaced with a much nicer
push-push micro SD version.
-
Lower power consumption.
By replacing linear regulators with switching ones weve reduced power
consumption by between 0.5W and 1W.
-
Better audio.
The audio circuit incorporates a dedicated low-noise power supply.
-
Neater form factor.
Weve aligned the USB connectors with the board edge, moved composite video
onto the 3.5mm jack, and added four squarely-placed mounting holes.
The Model B+ is perfectly suitable for use in schools: it offers more
flexibility for learners than the leaner Model A or A+, which are more useful
for embedded projects and projects which require very low power, and has more
USB ports than the Model B.
