It's possible to step 12 volts down to 6 volts by incorporating a pair of 10,000-ohm resistors into the circuit. Cut two lengths of wire, and strip each wire of 1/2 inch of insulation at each end. Attach one end of the first wire to the positive terminal on the power supply.13 Mar 2018

Will 12vac work with 12VDC?
Yes, you can add a 12V AC signal or even a power AC line over a 12V DC connection but it will be costly…
Is 12vac the same as 12VDC?
12V DC is safer than 12V AC. Body resistance decreased when the 12V AC still may cause the dead, 12V DC will not be in 100%. However, the hazard degree of electric shock to the human body mainly depends on the size of the current passing through the human body and the length of the energization time.27 Jun 2017
Can I use 12V output for 9V?
You can't use a 12V adapter to power a 9V guitar pedal. A pedal that only handles 9V can be destroyed by using a 12V adapter. It's possible for a power supply to ruin your pedal even if you get the voltage right.
Can I use 12V AC for LED lights?
To run an LED-based fixture from a mains supply (e.g. 120 V AC) requires electronics between the supply and the devices themselves to provide a DC voltage (e.g. 12 V DC) capable of driving several LEDs. A new approach is to develop AC-LEDs, which can operate directly from an AC power supply.2 May 2006
What is 5V DC supply?
5V power supplies (or 5VDC power supplies) are one of the most common power supplies in use today. Linear regulated 5VDC power supplies regulate the output using a dissipative regulating circuit. They are extremely stable, have very low ripple, and have no switching frequencies to produce EMI.

How do I get 5V from 12v?
Connect 12 v to pin 1 ,pin 2 is the ground and pin3 gives 5v. Don't want to use IC or not getting it,use a voltage divider using 2 resistors and you are done with it. Connect 12 v across the series combination of 4.7k ohm and 6.8k ohm(readily available standard ) resistor and take the output across 4.7k ohm.
Can I use a 5V power supply on a 12V?
A 5V adaptor cannot drive a 12V device. Also, an adaptor of voltage higher than the device needed would damage your device.
Can you run 5V LED on 12V?
1 Answer. Putting two in series is not going to work, since you'd then have to interface the serial data line. You could however use a small DC-DC (such as the many LM2596 based) to convert 12V down to 5V. It would also reduce the current requirements in the wiring.31 Jul 2019
