Can you use a 12V power adapter on a device that requires a 6v adapter?

No, the voltage is too high by 25%.
maybe. in many cases it will not work. However, some devices convert the input voltage to a lower internal voltage like 5V and then the higher voltage adapter may work. However, it could lead to other problems like overheating, so it is not a good idea. Many devices specify a range of input voltage

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.
How does 12v dc 1.5 amp power adapter differ from 12v dc 3 amp power adapter?
12v 1.5amp power adapter is 18 Watt, can't load more than 18W power consumption,3amp power adapter can load 36W.
Can you use a 12v dc 1a power supply on device that requires 12v dc 3200ma?
No, 3200 ma = 3.2 amps
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.
Can a 12v dc 500mA adapter be substituted for a 12v dc 200mA ac adapter?
No.If it is AC output, it will blow out the power circuits of the DC device.If it is DC output, it doesn't have enough current capacity for the load of the DC device.If you want to power a DC device with a wall wart, make sure the wart is:DC outputCorrect polarity (some have reversible polarity)Exact same voltage as the deviceGreater than or equal to current rating of the device
Can you use a 12v power adapter when device requires 6v?
No, twice the voltage applied to a device that only requires 6 volts will probably destroy the device. When a manufacturer of equipment states a required voltage for a device that is the voltage that must be used.
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.
What if you use a 12V 1.5mA power adapter in place of 12V 1.2 mA one?
It will take longer to charge the device

What type of product would a 12v Ac Adapter be used for?
A 12v AC adapter can be use to power devices that requires 12VDC and up to 500mA. It can also be use with electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power from the main power.
Can you use a 12V DC adapter for 5V DC device?
input voltage is strictly according to applications. If use 12V dc adapter power 5V dc device, the 5v dc device would be damaged.
Can you use a 12v dc 1a power supply on device that requires 12v dc 3200ma?
No, 3200 ma = 3.2 amps
Can I use 12V 1A adapter for a 12V 0.16A device?
I wouldn't recommend it ! If the device needs to draw more current than is available - the adapter could overheat, posing a fire risk.
Can 9V 1A adapter be used for 12V 1A speakers?
No. If it works at all, it will be underpowered, and possibly damage the speakers. To power 12V speakers, you have to have an adapter with EXACTLY 12V (no more, no less), and at least 1A. You could hook up a 12V 4A adapter if you wanted to, your speakers would just only draw 1A of power. Make sure you use a 12V adapter though!!
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.

Can you replace 12v 1a adaptor used on device of 12v 700ma?
No, the new adapter will not be able to safely supply enough current.
