New Raspberry Pi Model B+

Some pictures with my copyright.

side by side the relocated camera socket may cause some minor issues.

with CAD  on top ... note the contact with the USB.

I need to add the PiFace Digital.

edit ...added them http://www.element14.com/community/message/120608/l/re-new-raspberry-pi-model-b#120608

Great informative images.

I see three leds for lan.

Magnetics only has two?

You got one pretty fast.

I may wait for a while in case the smoke comes out .

Who said I was going to power it up.

I have some more pics to add.

Pity I forgot to take the tripod ...sorry.

Oops the PiFace Digital isn't going to work like this.

It may need an extension socket.

ChipKIT Pi works but might require something on the USB to prevent shorting out.

Rubber buffer still works on the Ethernet

GertDuino probably could do with a lower buffer.

Wyolum Alamode clears, but again some insulation on the USB wouldn't go astray.

SleepyPi clears, but you might lose some of the prototyping area.

I would add some insulation on the USB just to be sure.

Sparkfun RaspiRobot has plenty of clearance due to the double socket

PiCrust was the same and the relocated Display socket is still accessible

PiRack not all the pins work, but clearance isn't an issue.

One other thing that seems to have missed the headlines.

The B+ comes with FCC Class B certification which means its suitable for residential applications.

You have a LOT of daughter cards : ) I've just got a Sleepy Pi from Jon W.

Oh, and a few XMOS boards.

Yes the Pi Rack is the best Idea to lift a board or two away from the RPI the only problem is that the best way of using it is as you put it here, on it's side, vertically it  tends to flop all over the place

Would single or double sided foam tape be a good buffer between the USB and any board? Are there any concerns where that might be a bad idea?

I think something more durable would be better.

You might want to use a piece of thin plastic often found as the clear cover on bound folders, and use the double sided foam to stick it to the USB.

Obviously its not going to work for PiFace Digital, but will for the others.

There are stick-on rubber feet similar to the one on the chipkit pi thst are good for this. Or, a dab of hot glue.

I didn't think of that ...good idea.
