Newark element14 Announces Availability of the Official Power over Ethernet (PoE) Add-On Board for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

Much-anticipated HAT provides power solution for embedded and IoT projects

Chicago, January 9, 2019: Newark element14, the Development Distributor, is now shipping the hotly anticipated Power over Ethernet HAT for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. This new HAT, announced at the launch of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, enables a Raspberry Pi to be powered via an Ethernet cable, removing the need for a separate power supply.

Power over Ethernet was one of Newark element14 customers’ top four asks of the latest offering from Raspberry Pi, which delivers increased performance and addresses the needs of the growing professional design market using the board as an embedded device. The official Raspberry Pi PoE HAT is an ideal solution for embedded and IoT projects and further enhances the capabilities of this board.

Key features include:

  • Power over Ethernet 802.3af compliant
  • Power over Ethernet Boot (PXE Boot)
  • Class 2 device
  • Fully isolate Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
  • 36-56V Input Voltage
  • 5V Output Voltage
  • Supplies up to 2.5A
  • Fan Control
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

The Raspberry Pi PoE Hat is suitable for use with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and requires an 802.3af compliant POE injector, switch, or router device which is not included.

The Official Raspberry Pi PoE HAT is available from Newark element14 in North America, Farnell element14 in EMEA and element14 in APAC.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
