Re: 65 AMP alternator Diodes 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be L K Tucker on  Fri Jun 29 13:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

/// Get the part number and go to a auto parts house or electrical specality shop. Each diode is not rated for 65 amperes. The total output of all diodes in the alternator is 65 amperes plus a safety factor. Larger capacity diodes may or may not fit.

You may find that the connections are not soldered with lead solder. I don't know. The rebuild sites I checked weeks ago used a copper alloy to connect parts in alternators.

Bottom line is you need the correct replacement part just as you would for any other auto part.

How did you determine you needed diodes?
