Overview
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi
3 range. Like the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, it boasts a 64-bit quad core
processor running at 1.4 GHz, dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless
LAN, and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE.
The dual-band wireless LAN comes with modular compliance
certication, allowing the board to be designed into end products with
signicantly reduced wireless LAN compliance testing, improving both
cost and time to market.
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ has the same mechanical footprint as the
Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+.

WARNINGS
• This product should only be connected to an external power supply rated at 5 V/2.5 A DC. Any external
power supply used with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ shall comply with relevant regulations and
standards applicable in the country of intended use.
• This product should be operated in a well-ventilated environment and, if used inside a case, the case
should not be covered.
• While in use, this product should be placed on a stable, at, non-conductive surface and should not be
contacted by conductive items.
• The connection of incompatible devices to the GPIO connection may affect compliance, result in
damage to the unit, and invalidate the warranty.
• All peripherals used with this product should comply with relevant standards for the country of use
and be marked accordingly to ensure that safety and performance requirements are met. These
articles include but are not limited to keyboards, monitors, and mice when used in conjunction with the
Raspberry Pi.
• The cables and connectors of all peripherals used with this product must have adequate insulation so
that relevant safety requirements are met.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid malfunction or damage to this product, please observe the following:
• Do not expose to water or moisture, or place on a conductive surface while in operation.
• Do not expose to heat from any source; the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is designed for reliable operation
at normal ambient temperatures.
• Take care while handling to avoid mechanical or electrical damage to the printed circuit board and
connectors.
• While it is powered, avoid handling the printed circuit board, or only handle it by the edges to minimise
the risk of electrostatic discharge damage.
