It is the official Raspberry Pi recommendation for the Pi 4 and the Pi 400.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this power supply suitable for the Raspberry Pi 3?<\/h3>\n<p>No: the Raspberry Pi 3 (A+, B, B+) and the Pi 2 are powered via micro-USB. Choose the official micro-USB 12.5 W power supply (5.1 V, 2.5 A).<\/p>\n<h3>Can it be used with a Raspberry Pi 5?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes for light use, but the USB ports are then limited to 600 mA in total. For drives or an SSD, the 27 W power supply is essential.<\/p>\n<h3>Why 5.1 V and not 5 V?<\/h3>\n<p>The extra 0.1 V compensates for the loss in the cable: the board receives the correct voltage even under full load, with no undervoltage warning.<\/p>\n<p>Give your Raspberry Pi 4 an official, tested power supply.
