Yes, but it also needs the correct connector and the correct polarity
on that connector.  There should be a polarity note on the label near
where it tells you the voltage and amps.  The Jaycar ones I get
usually come with a set of different connectors, one of which is a
match, and they are reversible to change the polarity.  Take the old
power pack with you and get the Jaycar person to check for you if you
are in doubt - they are usually very helpful.
