Product Description
Raspberry Pi 5 Official USB-C Power Supply — 27W, Black, EU Plug
This is the official Raspberry Pi power supply for the Raspberry Pi 5, using a USB-C output connector. It delivers 5.1V at 5A, 27W total, which is the level Raspberry Pi 5 needs to run at full capability.
Why the wattage matters on install jobs
A Raspberry Pi 5 used as an edge node — for NVR pre-processing, VMS tasks, or general network infrastructure — often has USB storage, capture dongles or network adapters attached. This 27W supply raises the board's downstream USB power budget to a nominal 1600mA, up from the 600mA default on lower-wattage supplies. Undersized supplies can force the board back to that 600mA limit, which risks brown-outs on connected USB peripherals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output does this power supply deliver to the Raspberry Pi 5?
It delivers a regulated 5.1V at 5A, giving 27W total output.
Why does the wattage matter if I'm running USB peripherals off the Pi 5?
The 27W rating raises the Pi 5's downstream USB power budget to a nominal 1600mA, up from the 600mA default on lower-wattage supplies, which helps avoid brown-outs on connected storage or dongles.
What plug type does this unit have?
This listing is the EU plug configuration, though AC input covers 100–240V at 50/60Hz.
Can this power supply be used with devices other than the Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes — it can also power other USB-C devices needing stable 5V high-current input, including some embedded computing and automation systems.
