    Ok...so...if I have a 12 volt power adapter plugged into the wall, and I plug into it a Y splitter, will the 12 volt seperate between the 2 halves of the Y splitter, will it deminish, or will it give 12 volt to each half?

    thank you

    :)

    each item will receive 12 volt, but they will share the current, eg mah

    it`s called a parallel circuit.
