Abstract
There is disclosed a rectifier assembly for an AC generator for use with vehicles. The rectifier assembly comprises a single horseshoe heat radiating plate and electric circuit elements mounted thereon, and including at least one rectifier unit and two DC output conductor plates. The two d.c. output conductor plates are disposed in spaced relationship on one surface of the heat radiating plate with an intermediate insulating layer and electrically connected to output terminals of the rectifier unit. The assembly may be incorporated with a voltage regulator of an integrated circuit configuration for controlling the output voltage of the AC generator and a brush holder. The voltage regulator may be coplanar with the conductor plates.
