What Type of Charger Does the PSP 3000 Use? Proprietary AC Adapter Details

The PSP 3000 uses a proprietary AC adapter with a USB-A connector on the power brick side and a barrel jack that plugs into the console.

Key Details

• Proprietary Pinout: Although the cable ends in a USB-A plug, the pin configuration is unique to Sony. Standard USB chargers or cables will not work and may damage the system.
• Identification: The official charger is marked with the "PSP" logo and model number (e.g., PSP-300). The output is 5V / 2A (10W).
• Replacements: Use only the original Sony charger or a high-quality third-party adapter explicitly listed as compatible with the PSP 2000/3000/Go series.

Note: The PSP Go uses a different, smaller proprietary connector (though same voltage), so chargers are not interchangeable between the 3000 and Go.
