No, the voltage is too high by 25%.

maybe. in many cases it will not work. However, some devices convert the input voltage to a lower internal voltage like 5V and then the higher voltage adapter may work. However, it could lead to other problems like overheating, so it is not a good idea. Many devices specify a range of input voltage

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 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 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.


How does 12v dc 1.5 amp power adapter differ from 12v dc 3 amp power adapter?

The main difference is the amount of current each power adapter can supply. The 12V DC 3A power adapter can provide up to 3 amps of current, which means it can power devices that require more current compared to the 12V DC 1.5A adapter. This can affect the compatibility and performance of devices connected to the adapters.


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 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.

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.


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 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.


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.


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 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.
