Abstract
The invention provides an alternator for motor vehicles, in particular having a dissipator with one or more orifices designed to receive one or more press-fit diodes. An adaptor generally in the form of a disk has an outline enabling it to be engaged as a press-fit in a respective orifice of the dissipator. The adaptor has at least one plane face enabling a solder-mounting diode to be soldered thereto. The invention also includes the adaptor itself.
