Description
Note: The desired Raspberry Pi board has to be ordered via the configurator in addition to this kit.
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the latest addition to the popular Raspberry Pi computer family. Compared to the predecessor generation 3 B+, the Pi 4 offers significantly increased processor speed, multimedia performance, memory equipment and connectivity - with full downward compatibility and comparable power consumption. For the end user, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B offers desktop performance comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems.
Key features include a powerful 64-bit quad-core ARM v8 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, dual-display support with resolutions up to 4K thanks to two micro HDMI ports, hardware video decoding up to 4Kp60, dual-band 2.4/5.0 GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth 5.0 with BLE, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 3.0. The optional PoE+ HAT supports the Pi 4 Power-over-Ethernet.
Dual-Band WiFi and Bluetooth on the Raspberry Pi 4 have a modular conformity certification, which allows the use of the board in in-house developments with significantly reduced effort to develop conformity tests. A guaranteed production time of the Pi 4 until January 2026 enables its use in professional applications with high demands on long-term availability.

At a Glance
Please note the following to get started with the new Raspberry Pi 4:
- The Pi4 requires a power supply with USB-C plug. You can use the new official Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply, or continue using your existing Raspberry Pi 5.1V/2.5A micro-USB power supply with the new official USB-C plug adapter.
- To connect HDMI monitors, you need one or two micro-HDMI to standard HDMI cables.
- Old cases are not compatible with the new Pi4. We recommend the new official Pi4 case. Please note that this case currently has several days delivery time.
- Old HATs and displays as well as all Raspberry Pi cameras are fully compatible with the Pi4.
- The memory card for the Pi4 must be loaded with the latest NOOBS operating system.
