Raspberry Pi 5
Welcome to the latest generation of Raspberry Pi: the everything computer.
Featuring a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a 2–3× increase in CPU performance relative to Raspberry Pi 4. Alongside a substantial uplift in graphics performance from an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU; dual 4Kp60 display output over HDMI; and state-of-the-art camera support from a rearchitected Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor, it provides a smooth desktop experience for consumers, and opens the door to new applications for industrial customers.
For the first time, this is a full-size Raspberry Pi computer using silicon built in-house at Raspberry Pi. The RP1 “southbridge” provides the bulk of the I/O capabilities for Raspberry Pi 5, and delivers a step change in peripheral performance and functionality. Aggregate USB bandwidth is more than doubled, yielding faster transfer speeds to external UAS drives and other high-speed peripherals; the dedicated two-lane 1Gbps MIPI camera and display interfaces present on earlier models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling total bandwidth, and supporting any combination of up to two cameras or displays; peak SD card performance is doubled, through support for the SDR104 high-speed mode; and for the first time the platform exposes a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, providing support for high-bandwidth peripherals.

The new 27W USB-C PD (Power Delivery) Power Supply will deliver a maximum of 5.1V, 5A enabling the Raspberry Pi 5 to power a wider range of peripherals.
The total power drawn from the four USB ports on Raspberry Pi 5 is limited by default to a nominal 600mA; this limit is automatically increased to a nominal 1.6A when the USB-C PD Power Supply is detected.
The USB-C PD Power Supply is also capable of delivering 3A @ 9V, 2.25A @ 12V, and 1.8A @ 15V to PD-compatible products, making it a good cost-effective power supply for many general-purpose, non-Raspberry Pi use cases.
Specifications
- Input: 100-240VAC
- Output: 5A @ 5.1V, 3A @ 9V, 2.25A @ 12V, 1.8A @ 15V
- Connector: USB-C
- Cable: 1.2m, 18awg
- Colours White, black

The Micro HDMI connector supports the new Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and allows connection to a standard HDMI cable. It's slim enough that you can use two side-by-side with your Raspberry Pi 4 to connect dual displays.
Features:
- Length: 23.5cm
What's in the box?
1 x male micro HDMI to female HDMI cable
This DIY case requires assembly. You will need a small precision flathead screwdriver.
Features
- Two-part Raspberry Pi case for Pi 3, Pi 4 and Pi 5.
- Easy access to all Pi connectors
- Open design to keep your Raspberry Pi cool
- You can mount a HQ cam onto this case. See the hint at the end of the description.
What's in the box?
2 x DIY Acrylic Case layers
1 x 30mm fan
1 x 30mm fan grill
1 x processor heatsink
4 x 5mm standoffs
4 x 25mm standoffs
8 x M2.5x6 screws
4 x M3x16 screws
4 x M3 nuts
4 x rubber feet
Case Assembly guide
1. Remove the acrylic protective film from the two plates
2. Install the standoffs first. Push the male part of the short standoffs through the RPi board mounting holes from the bottom upwards. Use the Female Female standoffs as nuts on the top of the RPi board.
3. Mount the fan and fan grill on the top acrylic plate.
4. Mount the top and bottom acrylic plates using the eight M2.5x8 screws.
5. Connect your fan power cable to the GPIO port.
Hint
Why are there four extra holes on the bottom plate?
If you buy four 5mm standoffs with M2.5 nuts and M2.5x4 screws, you'll be able to mount an HQ camera on the bottom plate of the case, on which you can then add a tripod.
The official Case for Raspberry Pi 5 comes with an integrated fan. HATs can be fitted directly on top of Raspberry Pi 5 by removing the fan, or on top of the fan by use of 14mm high standoffs and a 19mm GPIO extender. These are available separately from Authorised Resellers.
The integrated 2.79 (max) CFM fan has fluid dynamic bearings selected for low noise and an extended operating lifetime. Air is drawn in through a 360° slot under the lid and blown over a heatsink attached to the BCM2712, then exhausted through connector apertures and vents in the base.
Features
- Integrated, temperature-controlled cooling fan that connects to the fan connector on Raspberry Pi 5
- 12mm × 17mm × 4mm heatsink with self-adhesive pad improves heat transfer from the processor
- Easily removable lid exposes fan and breakout slot for cables and GPIO
- Integrated mounting features allow for case stacking
- HATs can be mounted to the enclosure with stand-offs and GPIO header extenders (not included)
- Four silicone feet for the case are included
Specifications
- Input voltage: 5V DC supplied via four-pin fan header on Raspberry Pi 5
- Fan speed control: Pulse width modulation control with tachometer
- Maximum airflow: 2.79 CFM
- Maximum fan speed: 8000 RPM +/- 15%
- Case material: ABS (base, frame, lid) and PC (fan assembly)

Raspberry Pi 5 provides two four-lane MIPI connectors, each of which can support either a camera or a display. These connectors use the same 22-way, 0.5mm-pitch “mini” FPC format and require adapter cables to connect to the 15-way, 1mm-pitch “standard” format connectors on current Raspberry Pi camera and display products.
Raspberry Pi offer mini-to-standard adapter cables for cameras and displays in 200mm, 300mm and 500mm lengths.
Note that a camera cable should not be used with a display, and vice versa.
