## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TPH-EP-0225:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/TPH-EP-0225:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The PD Power Expansion board from **52Pi** is a multi-feature power management solution for [Raspberry Pi 5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-model-b-4gb.html).

The board offers a range of **power input** options, such as USB-C PD, DC**\*\*** 9-12V and even a set of VIN pads. **Output** **power** enjoys similar flexibility, including USB-C out (5V 5A), ATX 4-pin, and 5V output pads.

There's also an **always-ON switch** which allows you to select to start the device automatically when power is connected, without the need to press the power button.

Finally, the onboard power button can be used for manual power control. A short-press turns power on, a long-press cuts it off.

We recommend using the [Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C power supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-power-supply-usb-c-pd-27w-white.html) when powering via USB-C.

**Warning: Do not connect multiple input power options at the same time.**

**Raspberry Pi 5 not included.**
