Compatibility
This adapter works with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and B+, as well as any device requiring 5V DC up to 2A with a compatible barrel jack. It can power Arduino boards via a DC barrel jack adapter or 5V input pins, but it is not suitable for devices needing more than 2A, such as Raspberry Pi 4 (which requires 3A).
Wiring Notes
The barrel jack provides center-positive 5V. Ensure the adapter is unplugged before connecting to the device. Use a suitable cable with a matching 5.5mm x 2.1mm male plug to your board. Do not exceed 2A continuous load to avoid overheating.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+?
The 5V 2A output is sufficient for most setups with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, but for heavy loads with multiple USB devices, a 2.5A adapter is recommended.
Does this adapter include a micro USB cable?
No, the adapter does not include any cable. You will need a separate cable with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel jack on one end and a micro USB plug on the other to connect to the Raspberry Pi 3.
Can I use this to charge a phone?
No, this is not a USB charger. It outputs fixed 5V via a barrel connector and is intended for powering electronics, not for direct phone charging.
