Yes. There's a subtle difference in the meaning of the "--- ma" labels on the two units:

-- On the "device" ... the unit that uses power ... the "200ma" is the current it uses

while it's operating.

-- On the "adapter" ... the unit that supplies power ... the "800ma" is the maximum

current that it's able to supply. Anything less than that is easy.

So your adapter is OK to operate your device. In fact, with suitable wiring and a bit of

cooling, it could nominally operate 4 of them at the same time.

Can a 12V 800MA adapter be used in place of a 12V 500 Ma adapter?

Yes


Can a 100 mA adapter be substituted with a 200 mA adapter?

A 9V 1A adapter will supply up to 9 Watts of power and a 9V 200mA adapter delivers up to 1.8W of power. The 200mA adaptor may not be able to supply enough power to a device that has been supplied with a 1A adapter. The 1A adaptor should operate equipment that originally used a 200mA adapter. Before using a different power supply, check that the outputs are both DC or both AC. If they are both DC, it is important to check that the polarity at the connector is the same for both. If AC and DC supplies are swapped or the polarity is swapped there is a risk that the equipment will be damaged.


Can you use a 9V 500mA for a 9V 800mA?

Using an undersized power supply is not a good idea. The device drawing 850 mA being connected to a 800 mA source will work but the adapter will get warm to hot over a period of time. This overloading of the power supply will eventually destroy the adapter.


Can a 9 volt 1000 m a adapter replace a 9 volt 200 m a adapter- the polarity is the same-this is not bein used as a charger its being used to power a guitar effect pedal in place of 9volt battery?

Some 9 V adapters rated for 1000 mA will provide 9 V at 1000 mA. If you use it on a 200mA device the voltage may go up to 10-15 V and if that device can not handle the higher voltage, it it could burn out. Better adapters will only put out 9 V exactly and have no problem. Be careful of revere polarity where the positive on one is the negative pin for the other adapter.


Can a 9 volt 300 ma AC adaptor be used on a 9 volt 200 ma device such as the Tama Rhythm Watch RW105 programmable metronome?

Many times the plugs at the ends of the adapter will be different for different voltages and mA ratings. If it is the same, then look at your device (or the user manual.) It should give the input voltage and current ratings. If the amp draw of the device is greater than 300mA, do not use the ac adapter. It will damage the adapter and could damage your device. If the tuner came with a 800mA charger, then I'm sure you should go buy another for a few bucks at an electronics store.


Can a 12V 2A adapter be used for a 12V 500mA device?

The adapter's voltage must match that of the device, and its current-rating must exceed that of the device. So the answer is yes.


What if I Used wrong ac adapter in electronic device?

If the AC adapter gives too little voltage, the electronic device will probably not work. If it gives too high a voltage, you will probably burn out the electronic device, which will have to be replaced or rewired. If the AC adapter is too weak (provides less milli-amperes than the device needs), the AC adapter can burn out. In summary, you need to check: (a) that the adapter should have the correct voltage, and (b) that it provides the required amount of milliamperes (or more) for the device.


Can you use a dc 9V 400mA ac adapter in place of 9V 500mA adapter?

No. The 200mA adapter will only produce 1/8th the current of the 1600mA adapter, and probably won't even power what you intend to use. If it does, the extreme undercurrent will likely damage the equipment itself. A possible solution is a universal adapter, which may allow you to set the voltage and/or current for use with the intended device.


What would happen if you used a 19V 3.16Amp power adapter on something that called for a 12V 3Amp power adapter power supply?

You would overload and damage the device and/or the adapter.


Can 12V 1A adapter be used for 12V 2A device?

no, it may damage the appliance.1Can_12V_2A_adapter_be_used_for_12V_1A_device, 2a adapter cannot be used for 12v, 1a device if the so mentioned parameters are input parameters of the device.Yes, a 12 volt 2 amp adapter has more that enough capacity to operate a 12 volt 1 amp device. In fact the adapter can operate devices up to a limit of 12 volts 2 amps. A device larger than 2 amps connected will tend to heat the adapter up and eventually cause it to fail.


What is adapter and how is it used?

An adapter is a device that enables connection of a socket used in one region to a plug used in another by offering connections for the disparate contact arrangements, while not changing the voltage.


What does 800ma mean?

Well, hello there, friend! 800mA stands for 800 milliamperes, which is a unit used to measure electric current. It's important to understand how much current is flowing through a circuit to ensure everything works properly. Just remember, when it comes to electricity, it's all about finding that perfect balance to create something truly beautiful.
