What it is and who needs it

This adapter connects a USB-C power source to MacBook Pro models 13, 15 and 17 inch with Retina display from Mid 2012 onward. It serves owners of those machines who want to use a modern USB-C PD charger instead of the original MagSafe 2 brick.

The deciding specification

A built-in PD-inducing chip negotiates 18.5V to 20V at up to 5A from the USB-C female port and delivers it through the MagSafe 2 T-Tip connector. Without this chip a plain cable cannot trigger the required voltage profile.

Behaviour under sustained load

The aluminum alloy shell dissipates heat while the adapter passes continuous power up to the negotiated limit. The supplier notes the PD charger must supply sufficient wattage and recommends an Apple 87W original charger or higher with a single output port for stable operation.

Questions about this item

How does the 5 A maximum current translate when powering a MacBook Pro?

The adapter passes up to 5 A from a USB-C PD source through its built-in chip to the MagSafe 2 tip, so the laptop draws the same current the charger negotiates, limited by the 5 A ceiling.

What USB-C Power Delivery voltages does the adapter actually accept?

It works with PD profiles between 18.5 V and 20 V, so a charger must offer one of those fixed voltages; 5 V, 9 V or 15 V only profiles will not trigger the MagSafe 2 output.

What clearance does the aluminium housing need around the MagSafe 2 port?

The T-tip connector seats directly into the magnetic inlet on 13, 15 and 17 inch Retina models from Mid 2012 onward, and the slim alloy shell sits flush without blocking adjacent ports.
