alternator wiring on a denso lightweight alternator

[oldskoolrools]

ayup, ive got one of these alternators on my crossflow - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Denso-Kubo...item43bca869e9 - after seeing one on fridgemans twincam i decided to get one.

my question is does anyone know how to wire it up? its got a single post marked B which should be the main feed out, but it has a 3 pin plug on it (not like the one on your telly!). is one of them the "tickler" connnection that feeds the dash light? and how do i find out?

thanks

I did Trigs ............. think its the same.

Large terminal went to battery then the smaller connected to battery light (dash bulb) the other to an ignition live, think the terminals look like a "T" when looking in from the end ?

the plug connector is a 3 pin, like this.

Just googled it ............. trigs is type 1 yours must be type 4 ?

Hi Mate,

Wiring the Nippon Denso alternators is very easy!

i had this in my notes from somewhere but can't remember where I found it.

Cheers

Matt


There are many variants of this type of alternator (27 according to my Local Auto Electrician) but most of them fall into two types of fittings, Three connectors (Type 1) and Four connectors (Type 2).

Type 1 - Far Left

Type 2 - Near Left


Three connectors - (Type 1)
1. Connect this ignition Light
2. Connect this a switched Live
3. Connect this straight to the Battery


Four connectors A - (Type 2)
This worked on my alternator.
1. Connect this to the ignition Light
2. * Not Used *
3. Connect this to a switched Live
4. Connect this straight to the Battery
An alternative to this is shown below.

Four connectors B - (Type 2)
Alternative to above.
1. Connect to a permanent Live
2. Connect to a switched Live
3. Connect to the ignition light
4. Connect this straight to the Battery

pin1 to the battery with a 3amp fuse pin2 is ign feed pin3 w/light the one you are looking at is 40amp so that is less then std alternator 45amp
