Recovering data from 2012 Macbook Air SSD

I've been working with and recovering data from SATA disk and ssd drives for years, but now I want to get data off of a macbook air SSD. The computer is dead!!. I have removed the SSD card. What connectors do I have to use to get data off of it?

The 2012 Macbook Air uses a custom 7+17 pin mSATA connector. Supposedly it is the same connector used in other mid2012-early2013 macs, but the Air had a unique SSD form factor.


OWC (macsales.com) is the only vendor I know of who still sells a USB enclosure custom made for 2012 MacbookAir SSDs. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MAU3ENVOY12/
