Power Supply Raspberry Official Black 5.1A / 3A for Raspberry Pi (Black)

The official Raspberry power supply in black provides dedicated, regulated power for Raspberry Pi devices. Available in configurations that provide up to 5.1 A or 3 A output, this adapter is designed to maintain stable voltage under varying loads and to support connected peripherals. The compact, industry-standard form factor and integrated cable make it suitable for desktop, embedded and educational setups where a reliable PSU is required.

Advantages

This official power supply delivers stable output and consistent voltage to reduce unexpected shutdowns and performance degradation on Raspberry Pi systems. Its design includes over-current and over-voltage protections to help safeguard both the board and attached accessories. Supplied in black, the unit offers a neutral aesthetic that blends with most installations and the integrated cable provides a neat, ready-to-use connection without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Home projects and hobbyist Raspberry Pi setups
• Media playback and streaming applications using Raspberry Pi
• Educational and classroom Raspberry Pi deployments
• Embedded systems and IoT prototypes that require stable power
• Systems with multiple USB peripherals or HATs attached

Key specifications

• Output current options: up to 5.1 A or 3 A depending on model
• Designed voltage regulation for Raspberry Pi compatibility
• Integrated output cable for direct connection to Raspberry Pi power input
• Protective features: over-current and over-voltage protection
• Color: black; compact external adapter enclosure

How to use

Connect the integrated cable to the Raspberry Pi power input port while the board is powered off. Ensure you select the power supply version that matches the current requirements of your Raspberry Pi model and any connected peripherals—use the higher-current (5.1 A) variant for setups with additional USB devices, HATs or heavy processing loads. After connection, apply mains power and confirm the board boots and remains stable under typical load. If you move the device, disconnect mains power before unplugging the cable.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the 5.1 A option when multiple USB peripherals, external drives or HATs are in use. Keep the adapter in a ventilated location and avoid placing it under continuous high ambient temperatures. Regularly inspect the cable and connector for wear and ensure that the power rating matches your Raspberry Pi model to prevent undervoltage events.
