Having some spare AC adapters with barrel connectors is a pretty handy thing to have around if you do any electronics work

12v 900ma…. Hmm… let me check my box of assorted plugs

Ah, negative tip!

A good thing to keep in mind is that you should match voltages, but with amps the cord just has to be equal or higher than the device. It's a rating of what the cord can provide, not what it's spitting out at all times like voltage.

So in your example of 12v 900ma, a 12v cord thats 1a or greater should work fine assuming the barrel is the same. This can also help declutter anyone's 'collections'...if you have a whole mess of 12v cords, you can safely ditch the lower amp ones.

Can confirm. Hmmm, 5V 2 A….

Are you pondering what I pondering? Type A to barrel.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Wdym by barrel? So inefficient compared to directly plugging in the live wires to whatever you need
