Providing that you maintain the same voltage and above all, make sure that the polarities are the same, yes, it should work. It's OK to have a little more power available than the device requires but it shouldn't be less, which can cause the cable to over heat or cause undue stress on the device itself. It sounds as though you're using a wall adapter to run something, and the extra .5 amp capacity should be OK. But, when using a wall adapter, always try to keep as close to the rating of the device as possible. Wall adapters that provide more power than what's needed, can over heat because the extra power isn't being used. It's just being converted to heat. Since you're within 20 percent of the device's ratings, this shouldn't be a problem.

What are the 5 voltages produced by and ATX power supply?
+12V, -12V, +5V, -5V, +3.3V
Why is there no power after replacing the alternator on a mitsubishi montero sport 2002?
Is the battery dead? Check for 12v on the main alternator cable. If no power, check for burned out fusible links between alternator and battery. You may need a wiring diagram to check further.
What is a 12v buzzer and how does it work?

Can a car amplifier be used as a 12v power source?
No its entirely different than a power source. Its somin
Can you charge a 12v lawnmower battery with a 12v car battery?
can a 12v lawn mower sealed battery be charged with 12v battery charger use on cars
Will a 12v 2 amp device work with 12v 5 amp power cable?
Yes, the larger cable can carry more load (current) than the other cable.
Will a 12v 1.5 amp device work with 12v 2.5 amp replacement power supply?
No. The amperage describes the total electrical energyeither produced or consumed. Voltage just describes the potential. If the power cable or power supply are only capable of 1 amp and the device consumes 2 amps... sorry, you don't have enough electrical energy available.
What power tools will the Makita 12v battery work with?
The Makita 12V battery will work with many different power tools such as the power drill for LCT208W. The Makita 12V battery is primarily for power drill tools.
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
Will a 12v car battery safely work for 9V 3.5A device?
No.
Can you use a 12v dc 1a power supply on device that requires 12v dc 3200ma?
No, 3200 ma = 3.2 amps
Can you use a 12v 1000mA on a device that requires 600mA?
yes this will work fine
What happens if 12V-1200mA supply is given to 12V-700mA device?
It will work fine as long as the supply voltage matches the device. They both must be 12V, and both usually must be the same type-- either AC or DC. The supply current must be at least as much as the device requires.
What is a 12V auxiliary power outlets?
The 12V auxiliary power outlet used to be called a cigarette lighter with a covering device that could get hot enough to light a cigarette. Since smoking is no longer popular, the lighter was replaced with a plastic cover and it was renamed a "12V auxiliary power outlet".You can plug 12v devices into it for power such as search lights phone chargers etc
What device uses the 12v 6- pin power connector?
A lot of hard disk docking stations use these kind of power supplies.
Can you use a 12V DC adapter for 5V DC device?
input voltage is strictly according to applications. If use 12V dc adapter power 5V dc device, the 5v dc device would be damaged.
Can you plug in pest control into a 12V battery?
In order to use the "plug in" pest control with a 12V battery, the device would have to have power requirements less than or equal to that which a 12V battery can provide. The pest control would also need an adapter to use the 12V battery.
