Raspberry Pi 5
Raspberry Pi 5; recommended supply capacity for the documented peripheral allowance.
Input group: USB-C power input. A group reference is not an automatic selection of a physical socket or confirmation of an actual unit.
Recommended supply capacity
Recommended 5.1 V / 5 A supply
5.1 V / 5 A
This number describes documentary supply capacity for the selected goal, not measured device demand.
- The supply recommendation is not the board’s constant consumption.
- The Pi 5 peripheral allowance depends on recognized supply capability; the 3 A case has a lower allowance.
- No USB-PPS, voltage tolerance, firmware override or live negotiation is modeled.
Scope and inspection limits
- A source with more headline watts can still lack the required current at this voltage.
Inspected 2026-10-03; review due 2027-01-01. Independent technical review pending.
Computer hardware — recommended power supplies
The power section specifies 5.1 V supplies, recommends 3 A for Pi 4 Model B and 5 A for Pi 5, and distinguishes the Pi 5 peripheral allowance under 3 A and 5 A supplies.
Power sections only. These are supply recommendations, not measured consumption or a complete operating envelope. No voltage tolerance, PPS requirement, wiring or firmware change is inferred.
