For a device requiring DC 12v 1000mA will a DC adapter with output 12v 2.7A also work?

No, because the provided rating of 12volt, 2.7Amp equivalent to 2700 mA (milli amphere) is a much higher as to the adapter said 12volt, 1000 mA (Milli Amphere).

Can I use 12V DC output universal ACDC adaptor with equipment that uses AC adapter 12VAC 2A?
There are many electronics today that run on 12 volt DC power. The good news for anyone who is traveling is that you can use a 12 volt AC adapter 12 VAC 2A.
What is gain on guitar amps?
Gain, usually measured in decibels, is the ratio of output to input power. A more sensitive amplifier will have higher gain settings requiring less input signal.
You have an acdc adaptor but you dont know what its for?
Check the output voltage and mA capacity on the nameplate of the adaptor. The adapter will be useful on devices at that DC voltage and up to the mA capacity of the adaptor E.g. the nameplate may read Input: AC120 volts 5 watts. Output: DC 12 volts 200 mA.
Can you run a disc man off of an AC DC adapter that puts out more power than is needed?
Hi, IF the voltage rating is the same, the output in current (most likely in milliamps or ma) of the adapter is relatively inconsequential as long as it's at least what the Discman originally required, or a bit higher. For instance, if the Discman requires 6 volts at 250 milliamps (250 ma) and you have a 6 volt adapter that has 475 ma. available, you should be able to run your Discman off of it with very little problem. Also be sure that the different adapter has the same polarity at the plug as the original though, or it could be catastrophic. Hope this helps, Cubby
Can you use 1 amp charger to charge a 2 amp gps device?
yes, you can but it will take a longer time. please note that the voltage output should be the same.
For a device requiring DC 6V 1000mA will a DC adapter output 9V 1000mA also work for this device?
A device which requires 1000mA at 9 volts in order to operate will not work from an output of 500mA. This output is only half the power requirement of the device.
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
How can you change the 30v1000ma power output on your acdc power adapter to a output of around 30v1ma?
Your power adapter is rated up to 30 volts at 1000ma. (1 amp.) If you have a device which only draws 1 milliamp, then it should work with this adapter, as long as the voltage is correct.
Is a display adapter a input or output device?
A display ADAPTER is neither. The Display is an output device.
Can you use 5v 1000ma adapter on a 45v 400ma device?
No you can not. The power supply output of 5 volts is under sized. There is no way that a 45 volt device would operate from it. You will need to find a power supply of 45 volts.
Will a 15DC 1000mA power supply work on a device needing 15DC 1500mA power supply?
Your question is confusing, but if you are asking whether you can use a 9V/250 mA adapter to supply a load device rated at 5 V/1000 mA, then the rule is quite straightforward. The adapter's rated output voltage must match that of the intended load, but its rated current must exceed that of the load. So in your example, you cannot use the adapter with the intended load.
Can you use a 12v 1500ma switching adapter on a device requiring 12v 3.0A?
No, if your device require 3.0A, 1500ma adapter which is 1.5A is not enough, voltage wise is fine, your adapter adapter will get warm, then overheat, then very likely fail.
Can you use 750mA output charger that calls for 1000mA?
Yes - it will just take a little longer to charge the device.
Can you use 12v 1000ma instead 12v 150ma?
12v 1000mA means that the maximum output of that unit is 1000 milliamps at 12 volts. 12v 150 mA means that the maximum output of that unit is 150 milliamps at 12 volts. So if you need 150 milliamps at 12v either will do. BUT if you need over 150 milliamps at 12v then you must go for the 1000 mA unit. By the way there are 1000 milliamps in 1 amp.
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.
For a device requiring DC 12V 2Amps will a DC adapter output 12V 1000ma also work for this device?
Assuming the plug fits, and that the polarity is correct it'll work fine. Drawing less amps than the source can deliver isn't a problem, it'd be a bit like filling a glass from a pitcher. Drawing more amps than the source can deliver is what you need to watch out for, that can cause overheating and all sorts of nasty failures.
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.
