Raspberry Pi 45W USB-C Power Supply

by Raspberry Pi

A 45W version of the official USB-C power supply, designed to support high-powered Raspberry Pi projects.

The Raspberry Pi 45W USB-C Power Supply is an ideal power supply for USB-C powered Raspberry Pi products. It is especially suitable for Raspberry Pi 5 users who wish to drive high-power peripherals, such as hard drives and SSDs.

Delivering a maximum of 5.1V, 5A, it supports USB PD (Power Delivery) negotiation, 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, in order to provide extra power for devices connected to the four Type A USB ports.

An extended range of built-in power profiles mean the Raspberry Pi 45W USB-C Power Supply is also an excellent option for powering third-party PD-compatible products such as smartphones, tablets and laptop computers. The available profiles are 9V, 5A; 12V, 3.75A; 15V, 3A; and 20V, 2.25A, all limited to a maximum of 45W.
