Raspberry Pi B+, Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 (B Model)
Raspberry Pi B+ and Raspberry Pi 2/3 (B model) have four mounting holes on board,
so we can use the four sets of copper standoff, screw and nut to mount the USB hub
under it. Two pogo pins could be used to back-power your Raspberry Pi, while the
other two pogo pins could be used to make the USB data connection, so your USB
hub can work without a USB cable.
After putting the USB hub under Raspberry Pi, you can place the copper standoffs
between the USB hub and Raspberry Pi (align to the 4 mounting holes). By tightening
the two ends of echo standoff with screw and nut, the USB hub will be firmly mounted
under your Raspberry Pi. Our suggestion is to put the screws at the bottom of the
USB hub and put the nuts on the top surface of the Raspberry Pi board, you can
reverse it though.
Raspberry Pi B+ and Raspberry Pi 2/3 (B model) do not support back-powering via
USB port. However, you can use two pogo pins (included in the package) to let the
USB hub to back-power your Raspberry Pi via the (bottom of) 40-pin header.
What’s more, you can use another two pogo pins to make the USB data connection
(D+ and D-). As a result, your USB hub doesn’t need a USB cable to work with your
Raspberry Pi!
