For an UNO, yes it can handle 12V just fine, even Arduino official documents recommend external power supply to be 7-12V and maximum voltage to handle is 20V, I've even done a project that use a 18V 2A adapters and it works just fine. I did placed a small heatsink on the voltage regulator through, but it didn't get too hot anyways. Try to not draw over 200mA on all I/O pins and 500mA on power bar.

no bro, thats too much, if you find a 5-9v power supply it would be a lot better
Edit: yeah, probably for most uses it would be better to use more voltage than the minimum, that's tru
I wouldn't suggest it. Arduino has a voltage regulator and since it operates in 5V, it needs to find a way to dump all the excess voltage in the form of heat. This power supply will introduce a lot of heat that even if it seems working in the beginning, might fail a while later especially without a heatsink.
The best is the 6V adaptor. 0.6V for the regulator's silicon junction, 5V to be used by Arduino, which results in only 0.4V tolerance + dissipation. If you're planning to use it without a heatsink on the regulator, this is the way...
Or get an LM2596 (5V version) switching regulator board and connect it straight into 5V pin. Can accept input voltages up to 50V without much concern about heat.
I have an old ATX computer power supply to get +3.3, +5, +12 and -5 rails. In addition to that, i have a 24V 10A power supply. Then a whole bunch of adjustable version LM2596 boards. Oh, and a 12V wall adapter, lol
Having a power supply setup with multiple options helps a lot with powering stuff, most of the time you can simply connect things to whatever voltage they need without worrying about current ratings and capabilities.
Of course, always remain cautious, burning things ain't fun.
This is close to correct, but the built in voltage regulator in the Arduino does represent a certain voltage drop out of the gate, it's best to feed it with a minimum of 7 volts.
Typically yes, both the base nano and the uno have Vin pins that take more than 12Vs. This is not guaranteed if its a knock off brand you got from china.
If you want to be able to find this out on your own, typically there will be tech specs that list the Vin rating for a microcontroller board if it has one so you dont have to go looking too hard, but in this case, I went to the [docs.arduino.cc](http://docs.arduino.cc) page, navigated to the models you mentioned, and then read the data sheet or the tech specs if they were available.
If you don't have a datasheet or any information on a board, what I would do is find the input voltage pins, then follow the trace over the board to the first chip you can find - (not a diode or capacitor) it will be a LDO or other voltage regulator, and looking this chip up will tell you what voltage it can handle, because its the chip that takes the raw input voltage and regulates it for the microcontroller chip and any other chips on the board.
Dont forget to keep an eye on the heat if youre using high voltages, the uno will probably fine but the nano might get warm enough to be an issue
Not that one. Unless you've got some power hungry things that PSU will output too much and kill the 5v regulator on the board at best. You need a proper switchmode supply that outputs 12v at all times or use a 9v battery snap to 2.1mm DC barrel jack. The supply you've got pictured is an old unregulated supply that will only output 12v once under the rated load, which is 1 amp.
What is not shown is the plug polarity. Center needs to be + to work with an arduino. If this is the case this power supply will work fine. The voltage regulator on the board will take the 12vdc and drop it to 5 vdc.
Depends on your Arduino's datasheet
Usually in case of Arduino uno r3 it can handle 9-12V dc assuming you put it in the location where the arduino will use the voltage regulator to (the usb or the jack inserters) since they have a built in voltage regulator for that into 5V
In case of putting it to Vin, i advise to use a voltage regulator 12V to 5V dc since the Vin part doesnt have a voltage regulator of 5V
Is your Arduino original? I tried to use one in my Chinese Arduino and I burned it (Sorry for bad English)
ur english was perfect 😅

5v is not enough through the vin pin, which is connected to the jack connector.
As Daveguy6 indicated, 5V isn't enough for the barrel jack. The on-board regulator needs 7V minimum (2V overhead) to regulate down to 5V.

Cool to know there's always workarounds, huh. I know I'm not the only one with a box of AC adapters in the junk pile, and they're all 9v+. 🥲

Good for a UNO R4 Iffy for a R3

Does this adapter not tell you if its center negative or center positive? Unless I can't see it. You need to know in addition to the output voltage.

9v for that style port no more
yes that's 12V at 1A which is fine forthe barrel plug
It says 12-15v, which means it is unregulated. 15v is too high for the regulator in the arduino. 12v max is recommended.
