What else can I help you with?
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 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 you use 12v 600ma instead of 12v 500ma?
Using a 12v 600ma source is allowing 12 volts and 600 amps of power. If the device requires a 12v 500ma source, the larger source is acceptable. Please note that it will only be drawing on 500ma of the available 600ma.
What will happen if use a 12v 400ma instead of 12v 500ma?
i am not sure, BUT according to the answer in this post:Can_you_use_a_9V_600mA_adapter_on_a_9V_400ma_scanneryou need an adaptor of 9v and AT LEAST 500mA (assuming that the appliance draws 500mA)
What will happen if use a 12v 500ma instead of 12v 300ma?
Using a 12V 500mA power supply instead of a 12V 300mA power supply will likely be fine as long as the voltage matches, but the higher current capacity (500mA) means the power supply can deliver more current if needed by the device. The device will only draw the current it needs, so having a higher current capacity power supply should not cause any issues.

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.
What type of product would a 12v Ac Adapter be used for?
A 12v AC adapter can be use to power devices that requires 12VDC and up to 500mA. It can also be use with electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power from the main power.

Can a 12V 800MA adapter be used in place of a 12V 500 Ma adapter?
Yes
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.
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 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.
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.
