Hello - I'm completely new to electronics, and bought a solderless breadboard kit to tinker around with. It came with a proprietary +5v power supply kit (which will be my first attempt at soldering) that requires a wall transformer. I asked if there was a suggested or limit current on the wall wart, and was told to stay under 250 mA without a heat sink.
The problem is, after quite a bit of searching, I can't find a 5vdc wall transformer under 500 mA that has the right connector (2.1mm center positive). I'm not sure if these are really this hard to find, or if I just don't have my facts straight. If I use a 5vdc 1A transformer, is that going to overheat and melt everything? Any advice?
Thank you
