How close does a transformer have to match the device's listing? We've got several devices at ByteWorks which describe the input voltage with a little symbol that looks like this:
6V DC (-)--C*--(+) The asterisk is actually a dot is should be inside the C. The symbol means the outside contact is negative and the inside contact is positive. (anyone know the name of that symbol?) The transformers have corresponding information: Input: AC 120V 7W 60HZ Output: DC 6V 500mA (-)--C*--(+) How close does the output on the transformer have to match the input on the device? That is, can I plug in a transformer with 9V output into a 6V input, or use a transformer that can output 1200 mA instead of 500mA?
