Yes, a 12V AC adapter can work on a 10V device, but it may not be advisable. The device is designed for 10V, and supplying 12V could lead to overheating or damage over time. It's important to check the device's specifications and ensure it can handle the higher voltage or consider using a voltage regulator. Always prioritize safety and device compatibility.

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.


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 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 you use a 12v-0.6a 7.2va adaptor instead of a 12v 1.5a adaptor?

No, you cannot use a 12V 0.6A (7.2W) adapter instead of a 12V 1.5A adapter. The 0.6A adapter provides insufficient current for devices that require 1.5A, potentially leading to underperformance or damage to the device due to inadequate power supply. Always match the voltage and ensure the current rating of the adapter meets or exceeds the device's requirements.


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


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 you replace 12v 1a adaptor used on device of 12v 700ma?

No, the new adapter will not be able to safely supply enough current.


Can you use a 12V 500mA switching adapter on device that originally required a 12V 2A?

Not for very long. If the device actually requires 2A in order to do its job, then the adapter ... which is only designed to deliver 0.5A or less ... will get warm, then overheat, and then fail. Possibly in as little as a few seconds.


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


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 you use a 13v 2.77 amp ac adapter in place of a 12v 3.0 amp ac adapter?

It is not recommended to use a higher voltage adapter than what is specified for your device. Using a 13V adapter instead of a 12V adapter may damage your device due to overvoltage. It is best to use the adapter with the exact voltage and current specifications that are recommended by the manufacturer.


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.
