The Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply is an ideal power supply for Raspberry Pi 5, especially for users who wish to drive high-power peripherals, such as hard drives and SSDs, from Raspberry Pi 5’s four Type A USB ports.
Delivering a maximum of 5.1V, 5A, it supports USB PD (Power Delivery), so Raspberry Pi 5 can communicate with it and select the most appropriate power profile.
This enables Raspberry Pi 5 to increase the USB current limit automatically from the default 600mA to 1.6A, to provide extra power for devices connected to the four Type A USB ports. Additional built-in power profiles mean the Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply is also an excellent option for powering third-party PD-compatible products. The available profiles are 9V, 3A; 12V, 2.25A; and 15V, 1.8A, all limited to a maximum of 27W.
