Last time, when I supplied 12 V from a power supply to the Arduino's 5V pin, it blew up. This time I'm going to use an adapter. Why does an adapter with a 12 V input not blow an Arduino up, as in the previous case?

Or, should I have supplied 12 V to Vin, in place of 5 V ?

Edit: Sorry for saying 12V input, it is written 12V output and I meant a power adapter that is plugged into wall.

Last time, when i give 12V from power supply to arduino's 5V pin, it blew up. This time I'm going to use an adapter. Why does an adapter with 12V input not make the same blown up for arduino like in the previous case?

OR should i have supplied 12V to Vin, not the place of 5V ?
