Chopmate 45W Magnetic T-Tip AC Adapter for MacBook Air 11/13-inch 2012-2017

SKU CH-5887-N6Z51

45W magnetic T-tip charger for 11 and 13-inch MacBook Air models from 2012 to 2017, with overload and heat protection

  • Product typeCharger
  • 45W output charges compatible MacBook Air models
  • Magnetic T-tip connector detaches safely under strain
  • 100-240V input works worldwide without a voltage converter
  • Built-in IC chip protects against overload, short circuit and overheating
  • Replaces Apple part numbers A1435, A1436, A1465 and A1466

45 W Magnetic T-Tip Adapter

The Chopmate 45 W magnetic T-tip AC adapter replaces the original charger for MacBook Air 11-inch and 13-inch models released between 2012 and 2017. It delivers 14.85 V at 3.05 A from a 100-240 V input and connects via the second-generation T-shape magnetic tip.

Replaces lost or damaged OEM unit

This unit matches part numbers A1435, A1436, A1465 and A1466, so it fits every MacBook Air 11-inch and 13-inch from Mid 2012 through 2017. The jump is worth it when the original brick fails, the cable frays near the connector or the magnetic tip no longer seats securely.

Limited to T-tip MacBook Air models

The T-shape magnetic connector only fits the listed MacBook Air generations; it will not attach to earlier L-tip models or later USB-C MacBooks. The 45 W output is sized for those Airs and cannot charge higher-wattage laptops. Built-in IC protection guards against overload, short circuit and overheating during daily use.

Questions about this item

Does the T-tip magnetic connector fit the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models from 2012 to 2017?

Yes, the second-generation magnetic T-tip matches the charging ports on MacBook Air 11-inch and 13-inch models from Mid 2012 through 2017.

How do I connect the adapter correctly, and what step do people often miss?

Plug the AC cord into a 100-240V 50-60Hz outlet, then let the magnetic T-tip snap onto the MacBook Air port; the step often missed is ensuring the tip seats fully so the built-in IC chip can activate overload and heat protection.

When will the cable or connector need replacement?

The magnetic DC connector is designed to disconnect harmlessly under strain, which reduces cable fraying; replace the unit if the tip no longer holds firmly or if output drops below 14.85V 3.05A.
