Raspberry Pi 3 B Gpio Power Supply
With a decent power supply such as the official 3a adapter on the pi 4 you can expect to pull about 1a to 2a.
Raspberry pi 3 b gpio power supply. Back compatibility note the gpio pin area is now 40 pins long however the first 26 pins are identical to the model b to provide 100 backward compatibility for your projects. For raspberry pi 0 3 we recommend our 2 5a micro usb supply. We re using the 5v power supply to generate the 3 3v supply it does that by essentially eating the 5 3 3 1 7v difference and dissipating the power difference in heat. This 7 touchscreen display for the raspberry pi is perfect for creating portable and embedded projects where a keyboard and mouse would be in the way.
The gpio pins can draw 50ma safely distributed across all the pins. The power requirements of the raspberry pi increase as you make use of the various interfaces on the raspberry pi. Earlier models demanded a lower draw of 5v at 1a but in practice greater amperage is usually preferable. So a psu that successfully powers a model b might not necessarily successfully power a model b.
For raspberry pi 4 we recommend our 3a usb c supply. An individual gpio pin can only safely draw 16ma. For low power projects you can reduce the amperage quite a bit before it affects performance or stability.

The raspberry pi boards typically draw much lower amounts between 200 and 500ma. Here are 10 ways to power a raspberry pi. Any portable battery designed to charge a smartphone over usb can be used with the raspberry pi. This is why the big chunky 3 3v regulator gets kinda hot but don t worry it does not get so hot it is damaging its just burning off that extra voltage difference in heat.
The recommended amount is between 700ma for a raspberry pi model a and up to 2 5a for a raspberry pi 3 model b see power supply requirements in the magpi issue 56 page 39. The pi 3 has a recommended power supply of 5 1v at 2 5a which covers most situations. The 5v power pins are connected directly to the pi s power input and will capably provide the full current of your mains adaptor less that used by the pi itself. Power supply for raspberry pi 3 model b raspberry pi 2 model b raspberry pi model b b plus and other micro usb port devices.
The raspberry pi model b incorporates a number of enhancements and new features including improved lower power consumption increased connectivity with 4 usb ports and a larger 40 pin gpio header.
