Product Information

As long as the correct voltage is used, a device will draw only the amperage it needs, meaning there will not be “too many amps”. If an incorrect voltage is used — say a higher voltage than the device is rated to accept — then yes, too many amps may be drawn, and the device can be damaged. This is why it’s critical to use the correct voltage. Can I use an AC adapter with higher amps? The problem, of course, is the reverse: if your device needs 1.0 amps, but your charger is rated at only 0.5 amps, then any of several problems could result:

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. Can I use a 5V 2A charger with a 5V 1A device? I would just state the obvious, use the charger that has a normal temperature as long as it is not damaging the device you are charging. The fact that you’ve charged a device with .5A tells me that the device you’re trying to charge will not blowup and the requirement of that device requires at least .5A. But again, without knowing what your charging exactly it can vary with what device you are actually charging. I would recommend you either look for the fine print or google your device’s input power requirements.And here’s the problem: there’s no way to say what’s enough or too much. It varies from device to device. Some may tolerate a wide range of input voltages, while others are extremely sensitive to even the smallest error. Power supply efficiency is known as the amount of power actually provided to the internal circuitry, divided by the amount of power drawn from the mains supply. If a PSU is 50% efficient and is required to provide 50 Watts of power, 100 Watts will be drawn from the main supply. The extra 50 W is lost as heat. A 90% efficient PSU would draw 56 W in the same circumstances. What industries can power supplies be used in? Particularly when it comes to popular circular power connectors, make sure the expectations match. If the device expects the center connector to be positive and the outer ring to be negative, your power supply’s connector must match. There’s no getting around this. Electrically speaking, higher voltage can cause more amps to “flow”. This is one reason why getting the voltage correct on a power supply is so critical, because it can, in a sense, “push” too much electricity through a device and cause it to overheat or be damaged. Can too many amps damage a device? Am I getting this concept wrong? Or is a special cable an impossible vision because the car adapter will only work if it is getting 12V and not 5V?

The C2 (22uF) measured with high impedance and further reduces to transient on the output of ICI-LM317T. Power supplies are a crucial aspect of any electrical equipment, providing reliable power to machinery, computers or other technology devices. A power supply changes a source electric current, such as a mains plug, to the correct voltage, frequency and current needed to operate the equipment safely. How do power supplies work? For most applicationsI ADJ could be simply ignored since it's value will be too small. LM317 Symmetrical Power Supply with Current Boost Yes. Because a) the voltage matches, and b) the amperage provided is greater than that needed, you can use a 5v-2A charger with a 5V-1A device. Is 500ma the same as 0.5 A?If I knew what kind of resistor I can buy to solder in with a wire that would be about my only option. We have a wide selection of power supply units (PSUs) for use in various domestic and industrial applications. Our range includes AC-DC power supply adapters and desktop computer power supply suitable for domestic applications, as well as bench power supplies, DIN Rail and panel mount power supplies and switch mode PSU. What is a power supply? I got to doing a little more research regarding USB ports and cables have different amperage capabilities. For example USB 3.0 does 900mA, while USB 2.0 does something like 500mA.

No, amps do not have to match, but the power supply or charger must be able to supply enough amps as required by the device being powered or charged. In practical terms, that means the amperage rating of a power supply or charger must match or exceed that required by the device it is connected to. Does more volts mean more amps?It means, an effective variable dual supply output could be achieved by using readily available IC like LM317, which is very easily accessible in any electronic market. The diagram above shows how a simple yet higher versatile, adjustable dual power supply circuit could be built through just a couple of LM317 ICs. The circuit will produce an adjustable dual supply of 12V, 5V, and 9V The C5 (22uF) capacitor, before being amplified and as the output of the voltage goes up acts as ripple signal. When replacing a charger, this is easy to determine: it’ll be listed somewhere on the old charger. In your case, the old charger supplied 19 volts, so your replacement must also be 19 volts.
