Mac mini parts compatibility by model, A-number and EMC

The Mac mini spans the early Core 2 Duo units, the 2010-2018 unibody models and the Apple Silicon M1, M2 and M4 machines, and the internals changed completely across those eras. Because every Mac mini shares the same small square footprint, the A-number on the base and the model identifier in System Information are the only dependable way to tell them apart. The table below lists each Mac mini we carry parts for with its A-number, EMC number, model identifier, year and processor.

Warning: These parts are model-specific. Confirm your exact A-number or EMC number against the correct row below before ordering. The wrong logic board, display, or battery will not fit.

How do I identify my Mac mini?

Turn the unit over and read the model number beginning with A on the round base plate, where the EMC number is also printed. You can also open System Information from the Apple menu and read the model identifier. Any of these matches one row in the table above, which lists the correct parts for that machine.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage in my Mac mini?

It depends on the generation. The 2010 to 2012 unibody Mac mini had user-accessible RAM and drive bays, the 2014 model soldered the RAM, the 2018 Intel model allowed RAM upgrades again, and the Apple Silicon M1, M2 and M4 models have soldered RAM and storage. Match your model identifier in the table to see which applies before planning an upgrade.

Do Intel and Apple Silicon Mac mini parts interchange?

No. The M1, M2 and M4 Mac mini use a new logic board, cooling and power design that share nothing structural with the Intel units, and the M4 model changed the external chassis as well. Use the processor column to confirm which platform you have.
