What this adapter powers

This 45W MagSafe 2 T-tip AC adapter replaces the original charger for MacBook Air 11-inch and 13-inch models released from mid-2012 through 2017. It accepts AC 100-240V input and delivers DC 14.85V at 3.05A through the magnetic five-pin connector. The amber or green LED on the tip shows charging status at a glance. Part numbers A1435, A1436, A1465 and A1466 are all covered by this unit.

Who it fits and who it does not

The adapter matches every MacBook Air 11-inch and 13-inch model listed between mid-2012 and 2017, including part codes MD223, MD224, MD711, MD712, MJVM2, MJVP2, MD231, MD232, MD760, MD761, MJVE2, MJVG2, MQD32, MQD42 and MQD52. It will not work with earlier L-tip MagSafe 1 ports or with later USB-C charging MacBooks. Buyers needing a charger for pre-2012 Airs or for any Pro model should look elsewhere.

Installing and common issues

Plug the T-tip into the MacBook Air charging port; the magnetic alignment seats it automatically and the LED lights amber while charging, green when full. Ensure the wall outlet supplies 100-240V AC at 50-60Hz before connecting. The most frequent problem is debris on the magnetic contacts preventing a solid connection — wipe both sides clean if the LED stays dark. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector to prevent internal wire fatigue.

Which MacBook Air models from mid 2012 onwards accept the 45 W T-tip MagSafe 2 connector on this adapter?

It fits 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models from mid 2012 through 2015, plus the 13-inch 2017 models MQD32, MQD42 and MQD52.

Will the 14.85 V, 3.05 A output safely charge a MacBook Air that originally used an Apple A1435 or A1466 adapter?

Yes, the output matches the original 45 W specification and the T-tip magnetic connector is designed for those part numbers.

How do I confirm the adapter is charging correctly once it is plugged in?
