We need to know, if the third-party brand has passed MFi certification and integrated Apple’s 15W MagSafe charging module, they can print the “Made for MagSafe” logo to their packaging and do the promotion. Typically, the “MFM” logo will enhance the consumers’ evaluation of these brands.

Details of Apple 15W MagSafe charging module 

We have dissembled this module before. The module is like a flat round pie, the front is pure white, and the back is encapsulated with a metal shielding cover. At the same time, this wireless charger module also reserves five pads for connecting power and communication cables, namely VBUS, V+, V-, CC, and GND.

According to the picture, it can be seen that the MagSafe wireless charging module adopts the standard USB PD, the power supply is 9V standard, and it also has USB2.0 D+ D- cable core. USB CC core is the most important, used for PD charger handshake. And of course, it also has a ground wire.

This module integrates a complete circuit of voltage regulation power supply and circuit of wireless charging control and drive as a component sold separately to third-party manufacturers. The third-party manufacturers only need to provide an adapter of more than 20W and connect the positive and negative to power supply. Then, it can achieve 15W wireless fast charging for the iPhone 12 series. Simple and easy.

ChargerLAB has known from the industry that the price of MagSafe wireless charging module is $17.95, and the bulk product is $15.
