5V DC Power Adapters & Power Supplies
Shop 5V DC power adapters and power supplies for electronics, development boards, USB devices, LED lighting, networking equipment and other compatible devices. Our range includes 5V adapters from 1A to 5A, with different DC plug sizes, interchangeable connectors and USB-A, USB-C and Micro USB outputs.
A 5V DC power adapter converts 240V AC mains power into a regulated 5V DC output for compatible electronic equipment. When selecting an adapter, always check that the required output voltage is 5V DC and that the power supply provides sufficient current for the device. The connector size, polarity and plug type must also match the equipment.
Choose from compact 5V plug packs, switchmode power adapters, higher-current 5V supplies and models with interchangeable or reversible DC plugs.
FAQ
What is a 5V DC power adapter?
A 5V DC power adapter converts mains AC electricity into a regulated 5V DC output for compatible electronic devices.
Can I use a 5V 3A adapter instead of a 5V 2A adapter?
Generally, an adapter with a higher available current rating can power a device requiring less current, provided the voltage, connector and polarity are correct. The device draws the current it requires.
Can I use a 5V adapter with a 12V device?
No. A 5V supply should not be used for equipment requiring 12V unless the equipment specifically supports 5V input.
What does 5V 2A mean?
It means the power supply provides a nominal 5V DC output with a maximum rated current of 2A.
How do I know which DC plug I need?
Check the equipment specifications or original adapter for the connector dimensions, polarity and required voltage/current.
Are all 5V DC adapters regulated?
Do not assume this. Check the individual product specifications to confirm the output characteristics.
Can a 5V power adapter power a Raspberry Pi?
Some 5V adapters are designed for Raspberry Pi applications, but compatibility depends on the particular Raspberry Pi model and its required connector/current specifications. Several products in your current range explicitly target Raspberry Pi boards.
