AC Adapter - Reuse

Reuse

AC adapters are often reused on other appliances, but there are 5 parameters which all must suit the appliance:

  • Voltage
  • Current capacity
  • Polarity (not relevant with AC)
  • Voltage regulation (or stabilization)
  • Connector type

"Universal" adapters are available on which the user can adjust these parameters, except for voltage regulation (which is a fixed characteristic of a given power supply design).
