Using a 7.5V adapter on a 6V device can potentially damage the device. Most devices are designed to operate within a specific voltage range, and exceeding that voltage can lead to overheating, circuit damage, or malfunction. It’s best to use an adapter that matches the device's required voltage to ensure safe and proper operation.

Will a 5V 2.5A adapter damage a device that requires a 6V 2A adapter?

No, underpowering will not "power" the device, it will not run. You must get an adapter that is 6V and (2A or higher) will be ok as well.


Will a 6v 2.2a adapter damage a device that requires a 5v 2.5a adapter?

Yes it will


Will a 9v DC adapter damage a device that requires a 6v DC adapter?

Yes, the manufacturer specifies what the working voltage of a device will be and that voltage has to be adhered to.


Will 6v 300mA power adaptor work with a 6v 500mA device?

Most probably you are using a AC (117V or 220V) to DC 6V converter adapter. If yes, then the answer is no, you cannot use a lower current rating for a device that draws more current. If you plug in a device that needs DC 6V 500 mA to an adapter that can only supply DC 6V 300mA, then the adapter could start sending higher than 6 volts current which may damage your equipment or overheat the adapter. If you are using a higher mA rating adapter, then it's okay. For more technical details, see: http://www.jaycar.com.au/images_uploaded/plugpack.pdf


Can a 6 volt adapter be substituted for a 9 volt adapter?

No, of course not. The 6v adapter only produces 6v, while the load expects 9v.


Can you use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter - wattage is the same?

No, you cannot use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter. The voltage of the bulb must match the voltage of the adapter for them to work properly. Using a higher voltage bulb with a lower voltage adapter can cause the bulb to burn out or potentially damage the adapter.


Can a 6volt 600 milliamps adopter be substituted for a 6 volts 100 milliamps adopter?

Yes, you can substitute a 6V 600mA adapter for a 6V 100mA adapter. The important thing is to match the voltage (6V) while ensuring the new adapter can supply at least the same current (milliamps) as the original, to avoid damaging the device or causing underperformance. In this case, the 600mA adapter has a higher current capacity, which is safe to use with a device that previously used a 100mA adapter.


Is it ok to use a 4.5V or 6V from a universal ac adapter 1300ma for device that requires 5V dc?

yes, depends on equipment..


Can you use 5cV DC 800mA adapter in place of 6 V DC 300 mA adapter?

No, you should not use a 5V DC 800mA adapter in place of a 6V DC 300mA adapter. The output voltage and current ratings of the adapter need to match those required by the device you are powering. Using an adapter with lower voltage or significantly higher current may damage the device. It's best to use an adapter that matches the specified requirements.


What will happen if you use a 12v DC adapter on a 6v product?

Using a 12v DC adapter on a 6v product can damage the product due to the higher voltage supply. It may cause overheating, overloading, or complete failure of the product. It is important to always match the voltage of the adapter with the requirements of the product.


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 6V DC 1000mA adapter in place of 6V DC 600mA adapter?

Yes you can. Given the fact you're talking about milliamps - the slight increase in amps will have no detrimental effect.
