USB Type-C Power Supply - 5.1V 5A - for Raspberry Pi 5 - White

With the new Raspberry Pi 5 breaking speeds and revolutionising our DIY projects, it's only right that we get the powerful power supply to go with it and unlock it's full potential. Having a fancy new board is great and all, but without the right power source, even the most impressive board in the world would be rendered somewhat useless. This Raspberry Pi Original USB Type-C Power Supply for the Pi 5 offer 5.1V 5A supply to cater to the high-power requirements that all of the little chips, pins and peripherals need.

These Pi 5 Power Supplies are specially equipped with USB Type-C plugs, which is the primary power input of the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 boards alike, and come with a full suite of adapters to cater to Pi Makers in all areas of the world – as well as those who like to take their Pi projects with them as they travel. In terms of aesthetics, these Power Supplies are white with a clean, sleek design. This works well in blending in with modern indoor environments while staying relatively discrete, which means they not only work well in standard living room type settings, but also for demonstrations and exhibitions in which you want the Pi to be the star of the show, and without Pi Peripherals drawing attention away from what you’re trying to share.

Typical Applications for the Raspberry Pi Original USB Type-C Power Supply:

Although we’ve sourced and stocked this small but powerful PSU specifically for the exciting new Raspberry Pi 5 Model, the choice of how you want to use this PSU is completely up to you, and you can choose to power other boards and peripherals just as easily. However, the one differentiating factor between this PSU and other common Power Supplies is that it features a USB Type-C plug, which is a relatively new power/data interface, and may not be compatible with boards, modules and other components that still utilise Micro USB or Mini USB. Just be sure to check the power requirements of whatever you plan to power with this PSU, and ensure that you don’t use it for high-power boards or peripherals requiring more than 5A to operate efficiently.

The primary aim of The Raspberry Pi Foundation is to enable people from all walks of life to understand, learn and develop our digital world with ideas that actually matter to them. Their single-board computers are designed with an open-source style, while being both easy to use and versatile. This allows people to build their own systems to cater to unique problems within their environment, while allowing them to share with and learn from others who are building similar types of systems – growing and developing the open-source movement in every step of the way.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation also takes their initiative a step further by building accessories like cameras, control interfaces and other products that can be seamlessly integrated into projects, made with high quality components but without the unnecessary frills that many brands choose to add on for “extra value”. This “no frills” approach makes their products more affordable while catering to consumers throughout the world, regardless of their financial condition. In doing so, people in almost any situation can use these products to improve their lives, better the world around them, and help develop both their local communities, as well as online communities of Makers.

Finally, like the cherry (or perhaps raspberry) on top of an already-great Sundae, The Raspberry Pi Foundation utilises the profits that they make to sponsor and host outreach and education efforts, with the intent to help people by making computing and digital development more accessible. They train educators and offer free resources online for people to learn from, giving consumers the power to change the world around them, and ultimately do their small part in developing the ever-expanding digital world too.
