Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply (Black, EU) for the Pi5

Official 5.1 V / 5 A power for Raspberry Pi 5. The official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply gives Raspberry Pi 5 the power headroom it needs for demanding workloads and higher-power USB peripherals. This black EU version combines a 5.1 V / 5 A Raspberry Pi profile with a captive 1.2 m, 17 AWG USB-C cable and additional fixed USB Power Delivery profiles for compatible devices. Official Raspberry Pi product: Black, EU plug (Type C) EAN: 5056561803418 The Raspberry Pi 5 profile supplies 5.1 V / 5 A, or 25.5 W. The advertised 27 W maximum is available through the 9 V, 12 V, and 15 V USB-PD profiles. Included 1× Official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply (Black, EU plug) Captive USB-C cable — 1.2 m, 17 AWG Why Raspberry Pi 5 Benefits from 5 A Raspberry Pi 5 can boot from a suitable 5 V / 3 A supply, but it then limits the total current available to downstream USB peripherals to 600 mA. When the official 5 A supply is detected, the higher USB current limit is enabled automatically, allowing up to 1.6 A for connected USB devices. This provides useful headroom for equipment such as USB SSDs, hard drives, SDR receivers, and other higher-current peripherals. The power budget is shared with the fan header, so the total connected load still matters. USB-PD negotiation selects the correct profile. The supply does not force 9 V, 12 V, or 15 V into a Raspberry Pi 5; the Pi requests its appropriate 5.1 V profile.

Keep the power lead away from feedlines and high-field areas; add suitable ferrite suppression if your installation requires it. Mini-FAQ Is this the recommended supply for Raspberry Pi 5? — Yes. This is the official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply and provides the recommended 5.1 V / 5 A mode. Why is it called 27 W when the Pi receives 25.5 W? — The Raspberry Pi 5 profile is 5.1 V × 5 A, or 25.5 W. The other fixed PD profiles can deliver the full 27 W. Does it increase the Pi 5 USB power budget? — Yes. When the 5 A supply is detected, Raspberry Pi 5 can raise the total downstream USB peripheral-current limit from 600 mA to 1.6 A. The available budget is shared with the fan header. Will it send a higher voltage to Raspberry Pi 5? — No. USB Power Delivery negotiates the appropriate voltage before it is applied. Raspberry Pi 5 uses the 5.1 V profile. Can it power other USB-C devices? — Yes, provided the device is compatible with one of the listed fixed USB-PD profiles. Do I need a separate USB-C cable? — No. A 1.2 m captive USB-C cable is permanently attached.
