Abstract: An alternator rectifier assembly includes a rigid load bearing bushing intermediate a stator terminal board and a positive heat sink, wherein a minimum separation distance between the stator terminal board and the positive heat sink is defined by the bushing. The rectifier assembly further includes plurality of radiator connectors electrically connecting diode leads, wherein the radiator connectors are at least partially spaced from a top surface of the stator terminal board. The rectifier assembly further contemplates a stator terminal board frame, wherein terminals are located on the top surface of the stator terminal board, and the stator terminal board includes at least one cut out.
