Raspberry PI 3 Model B+

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi 3 range. In the nutshell, the model B+ offers:

• Boasting an updated 64-bit quad-core processor running at 1.4GHz with built-in metal heatsink
• Dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN
• Faster (300 Mbps) Ethernet
• PoE(Power over Ethernet) capability via a separate PoE HAT

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ maintains the same mechanical footprint as both the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. The Official Raspberry Pi model B case will fit but some other cases may not, especially ones that depend on component location or have a built-in heatsink. Besides the heatsink problem on the processor (It should be minor conflict when it comes to casing), there is another major possible collision is the additional 2×2 header pins which are being added to support the PoE capability.

Note: Both the 5V 2.5 A micro B power adapter and 5V 3A micro B power adapter works great with the Pi 3 Model B+ and provides plenty of power to the chip, Ethernet, and any USB add-ons you plugin. But you are doing industry projects that need stable and certified power supply, get the official power adapter from Raspberry Pi, 5.1V 2.5A power adapter.
