That's almost twice the voltage. The chances of frying your device is high.

Can you use an AC adaptor with 9v output and plug it into a device that has 5v input?

No the voltage gap is too wide. If the higher voltage is used there is the possibility that the connected device might be destroyed.


Can you use a 9v 300mA adapter on a 9v 200mA device?

No. The adaptor will overheat.


Would a device requiring dc 9V 1000mA output work with an adapter with dc 5V 3A in output?

No. Usually it's a -/+ 10% difference. So, a 9v would need at least 7.2 volts or more


Can you use 9V 500mA adapter for 9v 700mA 6.3VA device?

yes, if the other adapter is a va


For a device requiring DC 9V 1000mA will a DC adapter output PLUS 5V 3A also work for this device?

No. The device requires a 9V supply capable of delivering at least 1A. You're trying to supply it with a 5V supply. Go buy the right adapter. Just because there's a physical fit, it doesn't mean the part is the correct one. If the 9V supply can supply a little more than 1A (say, 1100 / 1200 mA) then that would be acceptable. If can only supply 900 mA, it may not work correctly.


What is need of signal conditioning?

To modify the input voltage to match the desired output voltage. Say you need 5V to operate TTL technology and you only have a 9V battery. You build an SCC change it from 9V to 5V.

Can a 9V charger be used for 5V?

No. The windings are set for 9vdc and will not step down to 5vdc.


Can you use a 9v 1500ma on 9v 500ma device?

Yes. (For any pairing of power supply and device, as long as the voltages are a match (in your case: 9v), and the output (in amps or milliamps (A or mA) of the power supply IS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN the current required by the device (in your case 1300mA or higher) then you will be fine. Yes it is suitable: The OUTPUT VOLTAGE (5v, 9v, 12v, etc) of a power supply MUST BE EQUIVALENT to the required voltage of the device to which it is to be connected, whereas the output CURRENT (500mA, 1A, 1500mA, 2A... etc) offered by the power supply MUST BE AT LEAST EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN the current required by the device to which it is to be connected. (in your case, for example, as long as the power supply is rated at 9v, you could use one that has a rating of 1300mA, 1400mA, 1500mA, 1A...and so-on, without any damage to either device)


Can you use a 7.5v adapter on a source of 5v?

Probably not. There are two types of adapters- regulated and non-regulated. An unregulated 9V adapter might have as much as 16 volts across its terminals when not connected, and deliver only 9V under load. Enough to fry something expecting 7.5 volts. A regulated 9V adapter is better behaved and will probably deliver 9-10 volts. Still, this may well fry your 7.5 V device. Get the right adapter.


Can you use a 9v-1a power supply when it calls for 9v-2000ma?

Unfortunately no, if the device calls for 2000ma you will need a 2A (amp) power supply to adequately power it.


Will 9v 300mA power adapter work with a 9v 700mA device?

No, the adapter's power output has to be equal to or greater that the current draw of the device.
