can I use a 16vac 300ma unregulated AC-AC adapter to replace a 16vac 250ma one?

The current rating is just the max you can get out of it, not what will be forced into the equipment. The equipment just takes what it needs. ••• More options Share D DragonMaster Member Joined 2004 dmsaudio.ca/ 2005-02-19 4:22 pm #3 2005-02-19 4:22 pm #3 I know, but the voltage is higher because of the smaller load : From the datasheet, it shows that it will output 17VAC @ 250mA load. The equpt. will take what it needs, but the supply might burn it, what I don't want ••• More options Share richie00boy Member Joined 2003 readresearch.co.uk 2005-02-19 5:25 pm #4 2005-02-19 5:25 pm #4 The regulation (amount the voltage sags under load) difference between a 250mA one and a 300mA one will be pretty small, so I say you will be fine. ••• More options Share Show hidden low quality content Status This old topic is closed.
