ABSTRACT:
An alternator rectifier bridge is incorporated into an alternator housing by inserting half of the diodes of the bridge into apertures formed into an alternator housing end plate which then serves as one output for the alternator and also as a massive heat sink to dissipate heat generated in the diodes. The other half of the diodes of the bridge are inserting into apertures formed in a radiator plate which is embedded into a plastic circuit member together with conductor members which interconnect electrodes of the diodes to stator windings of the alternator and also perform other electrical connections required for efficient manufacture and proper operation of the alternator. The radiator plate serves as the other output for the alternator and also as a heat sink. The plastic circuit member is coupled to the alternator housing end plate such that the electrodes of the diodes embedded therein pass through the plastic circuit member to engage corresponding ones of the conductor members resulting in a compact, highly efficient bridge which is readily assembled, preferably in an automated manner, using a limited number of component parts.
