5v 1a adapter
a 5v 1a adapter is a compact power supply unit that provides a stable 5v output with a maximum current of 1 ampere (1a). it is commonly used to power small electronic devices, such as microcontroller boards (e.g., arduino), sensors, led strips, and various other low-power gadgets. this adapter typically plugs into a standard ac wall outlet and converts the ac voltage to a regulated 5v dc output, ensuring that your devices receive a constant, safe voltage.
these adapters are often used in situations where usb power is not available, or when a higher current is needed than a standard usb port can provide. they are widely used in embedded systems, consumer electronics, and diy projects.
