is there a difference between MA and mA ?

[weatMod]

ok i am trying to replace a broken transformer
it says output 12v DC 600MA on it

i have never seen this before ,i have only seen current rating expressed in mA so is this "MA" the same thing , the same current as mA ?
does MA still mean milliamps ? since microamps is uA and milliamps is mA, i have no idea what else this could stand for
i can't figure out if it makes difference
or if the manufacturer just decided to use a capital M for the hell of it or if it means a different current

One means milliamp (mA). One means Massachusetts (MA)

 

[Ermelber]

M (Mega) means 10^6 while m (milli) means 10^-3. They're different!

Hahaha....
That is a completely horrible transformer.
It is mA, milliampere.
It is impossible for it to be Megaampere (MA), because you will need cables wide as a tree to transport that much current.

Short: print error.

That would be scary. A few Amps alone can kill you.

yeah thanks thats what i thought
it is just regular looking AC to DC 12v transformer looks like an old 8 or 16 bit system transformer
but i just never seen that before
