Meta description (under 160 characters):
Official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C power supply delivers stable 5.1V/5A power for Raspberry Pi 5. Reliable, certified, and built to run your projects at full speed.
Product Description
Get the most out of your Raspberry Pi 5 with the official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply. Designed by Raspberry Pi specifically for its latest boards, this adapter delivers the clean, stable power your Pi needs to run at full performance, even with demanding peripherals attached.
Why You Need the Right Power Supply
Underpowered adapters are one of the most common causes of random reboots, throttled performance, and corrupted SD cards. The Raspberry Pi 27W power supply removes that guesswork. It supports USB Power Delivery (PD) at 5.1V/5A, giving your Raspberry Pi 5 the full 5A it needs to power connected USB devices, SSDs, HATs, and accessories without restrictions.
Key Features
- 27W USB-C output: 5.1V / 5A (25.5W) in standard mode, with additional PD profiles up to 27W
- Optimized for Raspberry Pi 5: unlocks the full 1.6A USB peripheral power budget
- Reliable and stable: built-in protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 400, and Pi 3: also works with earlier models and other USB-C PD devices
- Official Raspberry Pi accessory: tested to meet strict safety and performance standards
- 1.2 m fixed USB-C cable: conveniently long for desks, shelves, and enclosures
- Available in multiple plug types: choose the version for your region (UK, EU, US, AU)
- Colour options: white or black to match your setup
Perfect For
- Raspberry Pi 5 desktop setups and media centers
- Home servers, NAS builds, and self-hosting projects
- Retro gaming consoles and emulation stations
- Robotics, IoT, and maker projects
- Powering NVMe SSDs and HAT+ add-ons

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this with a Raspberry Pi 4?
Yes. It is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4 and 400, and it provides more than enough power.
Do I really need 27W for a Raspberry Pi 5?
For best results, yes. Lower-wattage supplies may limit USB port current, which can cause problems with SSDs and other power-hungry accessories.
Does it support fast charging for phones?
It supports USB PD profiles, so it can charge compatible USB-C devices, though it is designed primarily for Raspberry Pi use.Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply: Official Power Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5
