Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, confirm the existing alternator part number matches 439597 and check that the vehicle uses a 12V charging system with a 220A alternator output. Those two points are the quickest way to avoid ordering the wrong unit when the vehicle has been modified or the charging system has been changed previously.

Physical mounting details matter here because this alternator is listed with a pad mount, direct fastening, a 6 groove pulley, 50mm pulley outside diameter, and 70mm mount leg thickness. If the bracket layout, belt type, or pulley dimensions differ from the unit already fitted, the alternator may not install correctly even if the vehicle family appears similar.

The connector detail should also be checked carefully. This unit is listed with no connector for revolution counter, so the plug arrangement on the vehicle and the existing alternator should be compared before purchase. Matching the pin code IR228 and the listed electrical setup adds another layer of confidence when cross-checking the replacement.

Weight is listed at 8.445kg, which can be a useful reference when comparing against the old alternator in hand. If the vehicle is one of the supported Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3-T or 5-T applications, or a 5-T or 6-T application from the stated year range, the final check should still be the unit itself, not just the model name.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 439597 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
