milliamp question

My daughter lost her adapter for her cell phone.
It requires a 12vdc .3a adapter and I found, in my toy-box, a 12vdc 300 ma adapter.
My question is... are these the same thing?
Is 300ma = .3a?

Surely someone here knows.
Thanks

should be, yeah

if you hook it up and something explodes, it's still not my fault

Yes, 1000mA = 1A. So 100mA = .1A, so 300mA = .3A. Should be fine.

Skynut

Sweet, I thought so but was totally not sure.

make sure the polarity is the same on that little plug... I know most are positive to the center but they say some are reversed pol.

Also remember that some devices require a particular adaptor regardless of "voltage" and "current" ratings listed on it. This is because in a no load situation some adaptors rise significantly higher in voltage than listed whereas others do not.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I think we will use it and hope we do not end up with a new phone.

Just give us a call if you have problems.

And safety glasses, everything tells you to wear safety glasses before operating.

To open beer, first wear safety glasses and gloves, then twist the top counterclockwise...

Thanks again all, it seems to be working well now.
I guess we will see what the long term has in store.
