I have a general question about VAC to VDC Power adapters used so often by electronics.
I have a rather now large collection of the power adapters. I need to use one for my linksys router. It uses a 12 VDC, 500 mA power supply with a positive center of the post.
If I use another power adapter that has a 12VDC, 1000mA power supply with the same positive center terminal of the same size, would it work fine?
Is the current rating just a max rating of what the power supply can give before maybe burning out?
Is there any other concerns about power adapters I am not aware of? I know some chargers for laptops are very specific but isn't VDC just VDC as long as the plug is the same and the voltage the same?
Kind Regards
Kevin
