For a device requiring DC 12V 2Amps will a DC adapter output 12V 1000ma also work for this device?

Assuming the plug fits, and that the polarity is correct it'll work fine. Drawing less amps than the source can deliver isn't a problem, it'd be a bit like filling a glass from a pitcher. Drawing more amps than the source can deliver is what you need to watch out for, that can cause overheating and all sorts of nasty failures.

∙ 14y agoThe 1000 mA rating is the maximum current the supply can continuously put out without overheat or damage. It can easily provide 300 mA, with 700 mA in reserve. Anything larger is usually OK, when you are talking about unregulated supplies. You could run into problems if you are talking about regulated, switching type supplies, as I believe these are designed to have at least a certain amount of current drawn from them.

∙ 15y agoThe short answer is no. The DC adapter with output of 12 V @ 1000ma is the same as 12 V @ 1Amp. Since your device requires 2Amps of power, it will draw more power than the adapter can put out so the adapter will quickly overheat and burn out.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, It is only when you try and connect a device that draws more that 1000mA will you get into trouble, as 1000mA is the load limit the power adapter is designed for.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThis would be fine. Using an adapter that has fewer milliamps available than required could cause problems.

∙ 14y agoNo, you have to apply the correct voltage that the load requires.

∙ 14y agoYes; 1000 mA = 1 A = 1 ampere

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 change the 1 amp fuse on a shaver adapter to a higher voltage so you can use it with something else?
Changing a fuse size does not change the voltage output. An adapter is a transformer. The transformer in this adapter has a set of turn ratios determined by the manufacturer to produce a specific secondary voltage when inputted with a specific voltage. You may be able to use the adapter on another device but it has to conform to the specifications of the adapter as it now stands. The fuse protects the primary side of the adapters transformer so as to not overload the transformer. If the fuse is up sized then the risk of overloading the adapter becomes a possibility. This could burn the windings of the transformers secondary and render the adapter useless.
Can a laptop 65 watt ac adapter be replace with a 90 watt ac adpter both output 19.5 v?
Yes, you can replace a 65 watt AC adapter with a 90 watt AC adapter as long as the voltage output matches (19.5 V). The laptop will only draw the amount of power it needs, so the higher wattage of the adapter won't cause any harm. However, it is always recommended to use the adapter that is specifically designed for your laptop model to ensure compatibility and avoid potential issues.
What is the meaning of dimmer stat?
Dimmerstat is the device with ac input an ac output. it consist of a variable transformer inside it so as to vary the output.
Can you use 15 watt converter for 9 volt appliance?
Depends on what the output voltage on the converter is.
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.
Would a device requiring dc 9V 1000mA output work with an adapter with dc 5V 3A in output?
No. Usually it's a -/+ 10% difference. So, a 9v would need at least 7.2 volts or more
For a device requiring DC 12v 1000mA will a DC adapter with output 12v 2.7A also work?
No, because the provided rating of 12volt, 2.7Amp equivalent to 2700 mA (milli amphere) is a much higher as to the adapter said 12volt, 1000 mA (Milli Amphere).
How can you change the 30v1000ma power output on your acdc power adapter to a output of around 30v1ma?
Your power adapter is rated up to 30 volts at 1000ma. (1 amp.) If you have a device which only draws 1 milliamp, then it should work with this adapter, as long as the voltage is correct.
Is a display adapter a input or output device?
A display ADAPTER is neither. The Display is an output device.
Can you use 5v 1000ma adapter on a 45v 400ma device?
No you can not. The power supply output of 5 volts is under sized. There is no way that a 45 volt device would operate from it. You will need to find a power supply of 45 volts.
Will a 15DC 1000mA power supply work on a device needing 15DC 1500mA power supply?
Your question is confusing, but if you are asking whether you can use a 9V/250 mA adapter to supply a load device rated at 5 V/1000 mA, then the rule is quite straightforward. The adapter's rated output voltage must match that of the intended load, but its rated current must exceed that of the load. So in your example, you cannot use the adapter with the intended load.
Can you use a 12v 1500ma switching adapter on a device requiring 12v 3.0A?
No, if your device require 3.0A, 1500ma adapter which is 1.5A is not enough, voltage wise is fine, your adapter adapter will get warm, then overheat, then very likely fail.
Can you use 750mA output charger that calls for 1000mA?
Yes - it will just take a little longer to charge 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.
For a device requiring DC 9V 1000mA will a DC adapter output PLUS 5V 3A also work for this device?
No. The device requires a 9V supply capable of delivering at least 1A. You're trying to supply it with a 5V supply. Go buy the right adapter. Just because there's a physical fit, it doesn't mean the part is the correct one. If the 9V supply can supply a little more than 1A (say, 1100 / 1200 mA) then that would be acceptable. If can only supply 900 mA, it may not work correctly.
Will 9v 300mA power adapter work with a 9v 700mA device?
No, the adapter's power output has to be equal to or greater that the current draw of the device.
