5,2 volts to much for the raspberry pi?

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi, I was Just wondering if it is okey to use a 5,2 volts power supply with 1 ampere instead of the regular 5 volts power supply?

Thanks for all answers :-)

Oh, and looking at the adafruit link reminded me of another thing, D17 is a 5V zener, you run the risk of drawing even more power as you entering the breakdown area of the zener

Out of interest is this a B or B+. The B+ should really have a bit more latitude with the switching PSU on board.
Conversely with the lower current draw it will have less need for the increased head room .

Also is his multimeter even that accurate ? 1 % will bring it to the edge of the range, It may be worth checking against some known good source or another meter just to make sure.
