Why Invest in a Dedicated Raspberry Pi Power Supply?

Using a generic phone charger is the #1 cause of Raspberry Pi instability. To prevent corruption and random reboots, you need a Raspberry Pi power supply that maintains a steady 5.1V output even under heavy load. SunFounder stocks certified adapters that meet these strict requirements. From the high-wattage needs of the Pi 5 to the efficient Pi Zero, our Raspberry Pi chargers provide the clean power your electronics need to perform their best.

Selecting the Right Power Adapter

○ For Raspberry Pi 5: Choose the 27W USB-C PD Power Supply. It delivers 5V at 5A, enabling the Pi 5 to power high-draw peripherals like NVMe drives and cameras.
○ For Raspberry Pi 4: The standard 15W USB-C Power Supply (5.1V/3A) is perfect for most desktop and media center applications.
○ Power Cables & Switches: Already have a USB source? Grab a durable Raspberry Pi power cable with an inline switch to easily turn your device on and off without unplugging it.

Frequently Asked Questions

○ Can I use my laptop charger for the Raspberry Pi 5?
While many USB-C laptop chargers work, they often default to standard 5V/3A or lower if they don't support the specific PD profile needed by the Pi 5. For guaranteed performance, use a dedicated Raspberry Pi power plug.
○ What happens if I use an under-powered supply?
You will see a "lightning bolt" icon on your screen, indicating low voltage. This can slow down the CPU (throttling) and may cause USB devices to disconnect.
○ Do your power supplies come with international plugs?
Yes, we offer Raspberry Pi power supplies with US, UK, EU, and AU plug types. Please check the product options to select the correct plug for your region.
