Raspberry Pi 5 Official 27W USB-C Power Supply

Power problems are one of the most common causes of unstable Raspberry Pi projects, especially on Raspberry Pi 5 where the board and attached peripherals can draw significantly more current than older models. The Raspberry Pi 5 Official 27W USB-C Power Supply is engineered as the recommended power source for the Raspberry Pi 5, providing a high-current 5.1V rail at up to 5A through a USB Type-C connector. This allows the Pi 5 to operate reliably while powering common accessories such as USB SSDs, keyboards, cameras, HATs and other low-voltage peripherals within the board’s supported limits. Unlike many generic phone chargers, this official PSU supports USB Power Delivery negotiation. In addition to the Raspberry Pi 5 power profile, it can provide standard PD outputs such as 9V, 12V and 15V up to a total output of 27W, making it useful for compatible USB-C devices that accept these voltages. For Raspberry Pi use, the key advantage is clean, stable 5.1V high-current output, reducing undervoltage warnings, random reboots and peripheral dropouts caused by undersized adapters or poor cables. This supply is suitable for desktop Raspberry Pi 5 setups, coding classrooms, robotics controllers, home automation gateways, media centers, NAS-style builds using USB storage, and development benches where reliability matters. The fixed USB-C cable removes cable-quality guesswork, and the official design is matched to Raspberry Pi 5 power requirements. In the box: 1 x Official Raspberry Pi 5 27W USB-C Power Supply. Notes: use the USB-C output directly with Raspberry Pi 5; actual available peripheral power depends on the Raspberry Pi configuration, firmware settings and connected accessories.
