Adapter 12v 1A
$3.50
In Stock (5 available)
A 12V 1A adapter is a common power supply that outputs 12 volts at 1 ampere, meaning it delivers up to 12 watts of power (12V × 1A = 12W).
Quick Specs:
- Voltage: 12V DC (make sure your device matches this exactly)
- Current: 1A max (your device can draw less, but not more)
- Polarity: Most commonly center-positive, but always double-check (there’s usually a diagram on the adapter or device)
Typical Uses:
- Wi-Fi routers
- LED strip controllers
- Security cameras
- Audio equipment
- Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects (with regulators)
- Small monitors or LCD screens
Important Tips:
- Don’t overload it—if your device needs more than 1A, this adapter might overheat or fail
- Match voltage exactly, but current can be higher on the adapter (e.g., using a 12V 2A adapter for a 12V 1A device is safe and often better)
