1966 Pontiac Star Chief Alternator Parts

The charging system has been required as long as we have had a need for an electrical system and from research it’s been since the requirement of horns in motor vehicle in the early 1900’s. An alternator is a voltage generator that uses mechanical energy to rotate a set of magnets within a field of windings called a stator. The alternating current (AC) voltage created by the spinning magnetic field is converted into a usable direct current (DC) voltage with a rectifier and then regulated by a voltage regulator so that the voltage level in the electrical system stays within a specific operating range. The alternator provides all the voltage needed to operate a vehicle, the battery is only used as a reserve for heavier load conditions, as a voltage source for the engine starting system, and to supply a small amount of voltage to the electromagnets in the alternator which boosts the magnetic field in the alternator and increases voltage output.

Modern vehicles may have 100 or more electrical harness connectors in every operating system of the vehicle. Terminal tension may weaken with time or corrosion may occur within the connector housing making replacement necessary. When replacing any harness-connector assembly approved wire termination methods must be followed to ensure a successful and long-term solution to the original problem is made. A failed terminal connection, terminal corrosion or damaged wire will result in an electrical system fault.

Product Features:

• Carquest electrical connectors meet or exceed OE wire gauge, insulation, and terminal material requirements.

• High quality components form the foundation our parts are built from. Transpo┐s innovative and high quality electronic technologies for internal components are incorporated to achieve high performance outputs.
• Power & Efficiency are designed into every component. No matter the ambient temperature, starters will provide maximum cranking power to get engines running.
• Connectors and power transmission components are highly resistant to extreme moisture environments because we use nickel plated contactors and double armature coating. We maintain a rigorous test schedule with endurance, salt spray, dirt and grime and out
• Integrated magnetic switch provides protection against weak power from batteries.
• Over-Crank Protection (OCP) Monitors heat in starter from over cranking & shuts down starter to prevent burning
• Precision design and machining are the Extreme vibration failure solution. Vehicles often perform in adverse conditions like extreme temperatures that create tolerance shifts that produce high frequency vibration, which leads to resistance in power transf
• Load dump protection ensures transient voltage spikes do not damage transistor
• Improved power transmission with lower engine speed keeps accessories and powered implements running at maximum output without additional load to the engine.
