The official power supply designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5 is the Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply. It’s a nifty little accessory that ensures your Pi 5 gets the juice it needs to perform at its best. Here are the details:

 

Power Profile Flexibility:

    • The Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply is an ideal choice, especially if you plan to connect high-power peripherals to your Pi 5. Think external hard drives, SSDs, or other power-hungry devices.
    • It also plays well with third-party products that support USB Power Delivery (PD). So, if you have other PD-compatible gadgets, this power supply has your back.

Output Specifications:

    • Input voltage: It accepts a wide range of input voltages, from 100V to 240V AC.
    • Output voltage: A steady 5.1V ensures your Pi 5 stays happy.
    • Output current: It can deliver up to 5.0A, which translates to a maximum output power of 25.5W.
    • Efficiency-wise, it’s no slouch: average active efficiency hovers around 89%, even when you’re pushing it hard. At low loads (around 10%), it’s still quite efficient at 87.9%.
    • And don’t worry about vampire power—when idle, it sips a mere 0.1W.

Connector and Cable:

    • The Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply uses a USB-C connector, which is the standard for modern devices.
    • The included cable is 1.2 meters long, so you have some flexibility in positioning your Pi.

Cool Fact:

    • Normally, the total power available at the Pi 5’s four USB ports is limited to a nominal 600mA. But when you plug in this new power supply, that limit increases to 1.6A. That means your Pi 5 can now power a much wider range of peripherals!

 

In summary, this little power brick is like a supportive parent for your Raspberry Pi 5—always there, making sure it has the energy to conquer the digital world.
