The power supply uses a USB-C connector, which has the following pin configuration:
Pin | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | VBUS | Supplies 5.1V DC to the Raspberry Pi 5 |
2 | GND | Ground connection for the power supply |
3 | CC1/CC2 | Configuration channel for USB-C power delivery |
4 | D+ | Data line for USB communication (not used for power) |
5 | D- | Data line for USB communication (not used for power) |
While the power supply is designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, it can also be used to power other devices, such as an Arduino UNO, via a USB-C to barrel jack adapter. Below is an example of powering an Arduino UNO and running a simple LED blink program:
// Example code for Arduino UNO: Blink an LED
// This code blinks an LED connected to pin 13 of the Arduino UNO
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn the LED off
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}
Note: When using the power supply with an Arduino UNO, ensure the adapter is compatible and does not exceed the Arduino's voltage input limits.

Q: Can I use this power supply with older Raspberry Pi models?
A: While the power supply is designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, it can be used with older models that support USB-C power input. However, ensure the voltage and current requirements of the older model are compatible.
Q: Is the power supply compatible with USB-C PD (Power Delivery)?
A: No, this power supply does not support USB-C Power Delivery. It provides a fixed 5.1V output.
Q: Can I use an extension cable with the power supply?
A: Yes, but ensure the extension cable is of high quality and does not introduce significant voltage drop.
Q: What should I do if the power supply stops working?
A: Check the fuse in the plug (if applicable) and inspect the cable for damage. If the issue persists, contact Raspberry Pi support for assistance.
This concludes the documentation for the Power Supply for Raspberry Pi 5.
