USB-C Magnetic 3 charger for MacBook

This 140W USB-C power adapter ships with a 2m nylon-braided cable ending in a Magnetic 3 T-tip connector. It targets owners of MacBook Pro models from 2021 to 2023 and MacBook Air models from 2018 to 2023 that accept the Magnetic 3 interface. The brick delivers up to 28V at 5A alongside lower fixed-voltage steps. It does not suit laptops limited to USB-C Power Delivery without Magnetic 3 support.

Thermals noise and power behaviour

The adapter is rated for 140W maximum output while the listed AC output power is 85W at 20V and 11.8A. Multiple voltage steps including 28V, 20V, 15V, 12V, 9V and 5A allow the brick to match device negotiation. No fan or active cooling is mentioned so operation is silent. Heat output scales with the negotiated load.

Box contents and practical effect

The package includes the 140W power adapter, the 2m USB-C to Magnetic 3 cable and a Type G duckhead plug adapter. A USB-C to USB-C cable is not supplied so users needing standard USB-C charging must provide their own cable. The Magnetic 3 cable locks magnetically and disconnects safely under strain.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 2m USB-C to Magnetic 3 cable to the power adapter and my MacBook Pro 16-inch?

Plug the USB-C end of the 2m cable into the adapter’s USB-C port, then attach the Magnetic 3 T-tip to the MacBook’s charging port; the magnetic alignment seats it automatically.

Will the nylon-braided cable or the Magnetic 3 tip need replacement after extended daily use?

The nylon-braided cable resists fraying, but the Magnetic 3 tip’s spring-loaded pins can wear over time; replace the cable if the magnetic hold weakens or charging becomes intermittent.

At what power level does the adapter limit output during a sustained 140W charging session on a MacBook Pro 16-inch?

The adapter delivers up to 140W at 28V/5A; if thermals rise under continuous load, it steps down through 20V/5A, 15V/3A and lower PD profiles to stay within safe limits.
