NipponDenso Alternator
 
What is the little canister device at the 12 o'clock position with wire that runs down to nut at 6 o'clock position? Not on alternator that I am replacing. Is it needed...or should I remove? Alternator has lasted 15 years, 850+hrs

Condenser, used for noise suppression. If you don't have a new one (not generally necessary) then I would not use an old one as they do go bad.

It's on your new alternator..... correct? leave it there.

Since we are on the Nippon Denso alternated topic...
 
My plane has the same alternator. The original builder used a regular spade coupler for the field wire. I'm a part 121 wiring guy and a spade terminal doesn't work too well with me. Does anyone have a part number and a source for the correct plug that will lock into this alternator?

Wow, 850 hrs. over 15 yrs. That's great longevity!! What are your operating, installation or other secrets for getting such good service. I've felt fortunate to get half of that.

Which alternator?
 
Jim, which alternator is that? Is it a 60 amp internal regulated one? Can you give us the details on it? Part number, car make and model that it is used on? I've seen different details in the past, but nothing lately. I have the 60 amp Vans alternator from 2007, it is now 8.5 yrs old and I have 860 hrs on it. No cooling tube. It has worked great all these years, but I want to be ready when I have to replace it. I just replaced my PC680 battery and contactors this March, 8yrs old.

Bobby....sent you a PM. Mine is the 35 amp model Nippon Denso 14184. It is externally regulated. The model 14684 is 60 amps and internally regulated. Don't know what make/model car it fits...but don't think you'd need that if you just give them the model number of the alternator.
Finished installing mine today and running fine. I have a blast tube for cooling directed at back of alternator.
