Works fine with Raspberry 3
about 2 years ago by Electroplater verified purchaser
Powers up the Raspberry Pi 3!
Power to the Pi
about 2 years ago by Member #784038 verified purchaser
Purchased two of them for the two RPi3s I ordered. No complaints here. They can both be plugged in side-by-
side and they run cool.
Does what it should

Yes. You need this for the Pi
about a year ago by Member #23292 verified purchaser
I have a project that uses pi’s with a small screen, an lcd, and a 64G thumb drive. Being new to the pi world, I
assumed that that usb micro-b power socket meant I could use a phone charger power supply. I had measured
the project current to be .8 amps with a usb current meter and since the charger power supply said it was rated
2.4 amps I figured i was good to go. wrong. The lcd flickered and the pi would hang and then get stuck in an
fsck loop. Bought this supply and all problems disappeared. It’s been running for a few weeks now without a
glitch. I wish it had a usb socket instead of a cord because I wanted to use cables with 90 degree plugs. I had
to buy an adapter. But that’s my problem.
Great Quality

These power adapters are exactly as described. Very high quality.
Both items were what I needed
about 5 months ago by Member #1168292 verified purchaser
Both adapters are doing the job I expected – they not only power the fan, they also power the usb ports – from
what I can gather since using them on my cooling assemblies.
Works exactly as advertised
about 3 months ago by mcdonnej verified purchaser
I see myself buying a couple more of these, to go with the couple more Raspberry Pi’s in my future.
Okay for RPI + Camera. Not Okay for Matrix Voice.
about 2 months ago by Member #570313 verified purchaser
I got a Matrix Voice board to go with my Raspberry Pi Zero. This adapter seemed not to provide enough
current, because the Raspberry Pi kernel-segfaulted. That’s a known failure mode if your adapter doesn’t
supply enough current. Other than that, it was fine running the Raspberry Pi Zero + camera + servo board +
pan/tilt servos.
Works as promised.

I was needing a higher amp output power supply for a Raspberry Pie project. It was at a good price and is
working well.

Works As Intended.

The only thing I wish this power supply had was an On/Off switch. Besides that. Great!
