Vehicular modular design multiple application rectifier assembly

A rectifier assembly comprising:

• two substantially identical and interchangeable heat sink plates mounted parallel to each other in spaced relation, each heat sink plate having identically positioned diode mounting holes;
• a plurality of rectifier diodes mounted within said diode mounting holes, each diode having a diode electrode, wherein one plate is selectively negative or positive dependent on the polarity of diodes mounted within the plate such that one heat sink plate is negative and the other heat sink plate is positive, and wherein diode mounting holes not receiving diodes therein provide diode electrode clearance and ventilation;
• a plurality of standoffs formed of an insulator material and mounted to said heat sink plates for supporting said plates in spaced relation to each other;
• a plurality of stator lead guides formed of an insulator material and mounted to a heat sink plate and positioned between the plates and having embedded conductors and connectors for connecting diode electrodes and stator leads of an automotive generator;
• a plurality of center tap guides formed of an insulator material and mounted to a heat sink plate and positioned between the plates and having embedded conductors and connectors for connecting a conductor ring and components for diode electrode connection;
• a trio diode mount mounted to a heat sink plate and having embedded conductors and connectors for connecting field excitation diodes and other components;
• and
• a threaded terminal mounted on a heat sink plate.
