Is there a specific device forr testing magsafe chargers L&T-Types?

Does anyone know of a specific device that you can connect L or T-Type magsafe chargers into to test if they are working as intended or if they are going faulty?

i guess this can be done with a regular voltage meter with a bit of knowledge but I am looking for a specific module that can do this...... Something I can simply connect an L or a T-Type.to and get some sort of data from....

Ist dies eine gute Frage?

There are three versions of Mac MagSafe connectors, you’ll need to tell us what system you are working with.

The easiest way is to get the systems MagSafe socket to then wire up to a volt meter. But that won’t offer much help as you won’t have a load nor access to the one wire data line.

You can also achieve this better using a test system and probing the logic board where the connector is connected.

Not sure if that was really helpful, I was hoping for a yes there is this device that can connect L & T-Type Connectors to test......as I don't want to probe around with 2 needles.... plug and play like ;)

@danj No, I mean something that a L or T-Type can connect to and it gives out some info like this Power-Z KM002C Portable USB-C Tester PD3.1 QC5.0 Digital Voltmeter & Ammeter Power Bank Tester https://www.amazon.com/ChargerLAB-Power-...|ecb5b780-40d1-45e1-9aea-643ee2c36da9|dtp-oo&geniuslink=true

@livfe - Apple uses the raw connector to test if a chargers MagSafe connection is working. I’ve never seen in all my years any digital tester. But that’s not to say you couldn’t setup something. Taking the connector leads and wire them to a USB socket to then plug in one of those USB meters. I would stick with the older USB-A tester. This still only tests the voltage and you would need a load or emulate one.

@danj Yeah I also never seen something like that hence the question in case anyone had knowledge one even existed..... I am useless with a multi meter to tyr testing chargers, I have 20 chargers here and some maybe are going bad.... had a customer return one recently saying it was getting unusally hot at the T-Connector, and another that it was on and off.... tested the units with another charger and no similar issues detected, I/O boards appeared to function normally..... oh well, nice ask anyway :)
