Raspberry Pi 3A+ Starter Kit

If you’re looking for a compact Raspberry Pi board but need all the necessary bits and bobs to go with it, our Raspberry Pi 3A+ Starter Kit is the best way to start and includes everything you need.

With the core items you need in one box, you can be up and running in a matter of minutes. Just connect a screen, keyboard and mouse and start working on your first project!

Woah there! Don’t forget that the Raspberry Pi 3A+ only has one USB port, so you either need to grab the Official Raspberry Pi Keyboard & Mouse combo (which uses a single USB connection as the keyboard acts as a hub) or use your own USB hub to connect multiple peripherals. We know many of you already own peripherals and hubs so we don’t include the keyboard and mouse in this kit to help keep the cost down!

We also offer a Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 Starter Kit. Or, for a REALLY affordable way to try your hand at coding, why not take a look at our Raspberry Pi Pico Starter Kit?

In the Box

Our 3A+ kit includes the following items:

• Raspberry Pi 3A+

The compact Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ weighs in at just 29g with a tiny 65mm x 56mm footprint. 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.

• Official Raspberry Pi A2-Class 32GB MicroSD card pre-loaded with 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS

The included Raspberry Pi 32GB microSD card comes pre-installed with Raspberry Pi OS allowing you to get started on your project straight away!

• Official Raspberry Pi 3A+ Case

Specially made and beautifully crafted, this nifty and tactile snap-together case is designed to protect your Raspberry Pi 3A+ whilst giving access to all ports. The case is composed of two separate pieces: a base, and a removable top that enables the addition of HATs or other GPIO hardware. There are even LED light pipes to top it all off!

• Black 2m HDMI Cable

A high-quality HDMI to HDMI cable, high-speed version V1.4 with Ethernet, 3D and CEC support. We include a 2m cable as we find this accommodates most desk setups.

• Official Raspberry Pi 5.1V 2.5A Power Supply

We include the latest, official, high-quality 5.1V 2.5A power supply with our kits, designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 3/3A+/Zero to ensure a stable and reliable power source. UK, EU & US options available – select plug style before adding to your cart.

A Compact, Powerful Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi 3A+ weighs just 29g, sizes up at only 65mm x 56mm, yet offers the same great 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core as the Raspberry Pi 3B+. Not to mention the dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless LAN alongside Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, making this an awesome choice for compact IoT projects.

A great choice for small projects that don’t need the grunt of the Raspberry Pi 4.

Comes with Raspberry Pi OS! 

The included MicroSD card comes with Raspberry Pi OS pre-installed, allowing you to get set up and start working on your project straight away!
