As long as the current output is greater than power supply it replaces it will work fine. If the replacement is rated for less current (amperes) than the original you don't want to use it.
Of course a DC supply has to be replaced with a DC power supply. AC with an AC supply. The polarity should be the same and the voltage should be the same and the pin and barrel should be the same diameter as well.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use a 9v dc 210mA adapter on a 12v dc 150mA device?
No, if the device requires 12 VDC then no substitute adapter of a different voltage will work.
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 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 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.
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 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 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.
Is 12V 6A adapter better than 12V 4A adapter?
Yes, a 12V 6A adapter is generally better than a 12V 4A adapter if you need more power for your device. The 6A adapter can supply a higher current, allowing it to support devices that require more energy or to operate multiple devices simultaneously without risk of overloading. However, if your device only needs 4A, using the 6A adapter will work fine, as devices only draw the current they need. Always ensure that the voltage matches your device's requirements.
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 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 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.
