Yes, no problem whatsoever as long as the voltages are the same. The adapter's capacity is 1000 mA and your device only requires 500 mA. The draw from the adapter is only at 50%.

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.


What does 500mA equal to?

500mA = 500 miliamper 1000mA = 1 amp so 500mA = .5 amps


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

yes, if the other adapter is a va


What does 500-1000mA input means?

A 500-1000mA input specification indicates that the device requires a current supply within that range to function properly. This means it can operate with a minimum of 500 milliamps and a maximum of 1000 milliamps. If the current supplied is below 500mA, the device may not work effectively, while exceeding 1000mA could potentially damage it. This specification is important for ensuring compatibility with power sources.


Will 9v 1100mA power adapter work with your 9v 500mA device?

Yes, a 9v 1100mA power adapter work with your 9v 500mA device. The mA number is the maximum amount of amperage that the adapter will produce without overloading itself. At 500 mA the adapter will only be working at half load.


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.


Is it ok to use a 4.5v 800mA AC adapter for a device when the original adapter is supposed to be 4.5V 500mA - will it damage the device?

Yes. As long as the voltage is the same which it is. The 800mA is the capacity that the transformer can produce safely without going into an overload state. Your original adapter was rated at 500mA which means that what ever device was plugged into it draws less that 500mA. You might notice that the new adapter is slightly physically larger. So you are safe to use the new adapter with the higher rating.


Can you use a 1A adapter instead of a 500mA adapter?

Oh, dude, using a 1A adapter instead of a 500mA one is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Technically, you can use it because it provides more current, but it might be overkill for the device and could potentially damage it. So, like, proceed with caution and maybe just stick to what the manufacturer recommends, you know?


5.1v is the Voltage, You need to also look at what the Amperage rating is on the charger. 500ma, 1000ma, etc. How many Milliamps?

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


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.
