Can you interchange AC adapters?

– Yes, they are likely interchangeable even though voltage is not the same. This is because the voltage difference is within specs, and I am GUESSING you could go even higher or lower in voltage.

What is an AC DC switching adapter?

What is an AC/DC Adapter? AC/DC adapters are commonly used external power supply units for electrical equipment which cannot directly draw power from the mains network. They convert alternating current (AC) into the required direct current (DC).

How does a switching adapter work?

In short, an AC Adaptor converts the electric currents received by the electrical outlet into a typically lower alternating current that an electronic device can use. Inside the AC adaptor are two wire windings that wrap around a single iron core.

What is an SIL switching adapter?

This adapter converts AC power into the DC power required by your device. This supply allows you to operate your device or charge its battery from electrical power outlets. Kircuit Adapters are a portable power source for when your on the go, at home or office.

How do I know what AC adapter I have?

The right AC adapter for your device is one with matching electrical ratings. The device’s input voltage and current must match the adapter’s output voltage and current. Check the device’s product label or user manual to see its rated voltage and current.

Can I use an AC adapter with higher amps?

Can I use an AC adapter with higher amps? As long as the voltage matches that expected by the connected device, then yes, you can use an AC adapter capable of providing higher amps.

What happens if I use a higher voltage adapter?

Higher current (A) is okay because the device won’t use as much, but higher voltage (V) is going to “fry” it. Conversely, lower voltage is unlikely to cause damage since the device simply won’t have enough power, but lower current can cause trouble because the power supply cannot provide enough.
