Raspberry Pi Connectors and Components

November 12, 2017 by Kalitut

Before you can really get started with Raspberry Pi, you have to know at least roughly what the Raspberry Pi Connectors and Raspberry Pi components are and what they are good for.

That’s why it’s important to properly identify all the important ports and components of Raspberry Pi.

Obtain a photo or a graphic representation of  Raspberry Pi and record the following connectors and components in a graphing application.

  1. Where is the keyboard and mouse port (USB)?
  2. Where is the network connection (Ethernet / RJ45)?
  3. Where is the connection for a screen (HDMI and RCA video)?
  4. Where is the connection for the loudspeaker (jack)?
  5. Where is the connection for the power supply (Micro-USB)?
  6. Where is the slot for the SD memory card?
  7. Where is the extension slot (GPIO)?
  8. Where is the system-on-chip (SoC) of  Raspberry Pi?

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Connectors

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Connectors

Raspberry Pi 3 B is barely distinguishable from Raspberry Pi 2 B at first glance. The form factor and position of the connections are identical. However, the status LEDs have moved from top left to bottom left. At the top left is the antenna for wifi and Bluetooth.

Raspberry Pi External Connectors

A Raspberry Pi has different connectors that are led out of the case, so they are outside the case. The task is to name them and define what you can do with them.
task

  1. Determine which external connector (outside the case) has a Raspberry Pi.
  2. What can you connect to these external connections?

Raspberry Pi Model B External Connectors

Raspberry Pi Model B External Connectors
  • RJ45: Ethernet network
  • 2 x USB: Universal interface, eg. B. WLAN adapter, keyboard, mouse, USB stick, …
  • HDMI: Digital video and audio output for TV screen
  • RCA jack: video output for screen
  • 3.5mm jack: audio output for speakers
  • SD slot: SD memory card
  • Micro-USB: power supply

Raspberry Pi B+ external Connectors, 2 B and 3 B

Raspberry Pi B+ external Connectors, 2 B and 3 B
  • RJ45: Ethernet network
  • 4 x USB: Universal interface, eg. B. wifi adapter, keyboard, mouse, USB stick, …
  • HDMI: Digital video and audio output for TV screen
  • 4-pin 3.5 mm jack: Video and audio output for screen and speakers
  • Micro SD slot: Micro SD memory card
  • Micro-USB: power supply

Raspberry Pi Internal connectors

A Raspberry Pi has different connectors that are located inside the case directly on the board. The task is to name them and define what you can do with them. task

  • Determine which internal connectors (inside the case) a Raspberry Pi has.
  • What can you connect to these internal connections?
