The Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ (A Plus) Is just 56mm long, 12mm thick and uses up to 45% less power than a Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+. This newly updated version of the Model A does much more than simply bring it in line with the Raspberry Pi Model B+ - the Raspberry Pi Model A+ is the same dimensions as a HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) add-on board and can run at nearly half the power consumption as the Model B+. Compared to the original Model A it has: * More GPIO pins. The GPIO header has grown to 40 pins, while retaining the same pinout for the first 26 pins as the Model A and B. * 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 we’ve reduced power consumption by between 0.5W and 1W. * Better audio. The audio circuit incorporates a dedicated low-noise power supply. * Smaller neater form factor. We’ve aligned the USB connector with the board edge, moved composite video onto the 3.5mm jack, and added four squarely-placed mounting holes. Model A+ is approximately 2cm shorter than the Model A. * Camera and Display ports - DSI and CSI prots for adding the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 and Camera Module 3 Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ will remain in production until at least January 2030 Specifications * Dimensions: 65x56x12mm> * Memory: 512MB RAM * Expansion: Micro SD slot, 1x USB, 40x GPIO * Networking: None * Product number: Raspberry Pi SC0562 (EAN: 707565827126) Resources * Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ Documentation * Schematics, revision 1.1 https://elecena.pl/product/27142971/raspberry-pi-1-model-a 2024-11-05 https://elecena.pl/product/27142971/raspberry-pi-1-model-a 2024-11-29 https://elecena.pl/product/27142971/raspberry-pi-1-model-a 2024-11-30 https://elecena.pl/product/27142971/raspberry-pi-1-model-a 2025-10-02 https://elecena.pl/product/27142971/raspberry-pi-1-model-a 2026-02-04 https://elecena.pl/product/27142971/raspberry-pi-1-model-a 2026-03-04
