OEX Alternator 12V 150A Valeo Style VXA020

The OEX Alternator VXA020 is a new 12V, 150A unit made for applications that suit a Valeo-style alternator with a 6 groove pulley. It is supplied as a quad leg mount alternator with an internal regulator, and the key mounting dimensions are 165mm centre to centre, 50mm inside mounting legs, M10x1.25 / 10.5 pivot hole diameter, and M10x1.25 / 10.5 adjusting hole diameter.

This unit is listed with a 55mm pulley outside diameter and a 6 groove pulley section, which are important checks when matching an alternator to the drive belt system. The alternator weighs 6.3kg and is identified by part number VXA020, with pin code IR181 and OEX as the brand.

For buyers comparing replacement options, the most important match points are the 12V system voltage, 150A output, Valeo unit make, quad leg mounting, and the stated hole and mounting dimensions. Those details need to align with the vehicle’s original unit and belt setup before installation is attempted.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the replacement alternator matches the existing unit’s part number VXA020 or the same Valeo-style application, along with the mounting layout and pulley configuration. The listed 165mm centre-to-centre measurement, 50mm inside mounting legs, and M10x1.25 / 10.5 pivot and adjusting holes are practical checks that help avoid a mismatch at installation.

The 12V and 150A specifications are important because charging output and system voltage need to suit the vehicle’s electrical requirements. The internal regulator also needs to align with the vehicle’s charging system design, so it is worth checking the original alternator before purchase rather than relying on appearance alone.

If the vehicle uses a 6 groove belt arrangement, check that the pulley outside diameter is 55mm and that the alternator mount is quad leg as listed. Small differences in pulley section, mounting ear width, or hole diameter can affect fit even when the vehicle family appears similar.

This alternator is supplied as a new unit and is backed by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty. For commercial use, it is sensible to confirm the duty cycle and charging load requirements for the vehicle, particularly where electrical accessories or stop-start style operating conditions place extra demand on the charging system.

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 VXA020 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.

OEX Alternator 12V 150A Valeo Style. Part number VXA020 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 150. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

Mount style is Quad Leg. Regulator type is Internal. Pulley configuration is 6 Groove. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.

For part number VXA020, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 150 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment against part number VXA020, the Valeo-style application, and the listed mounting and pulley dimensions before purchase. Vehicle listings should be checked against the exact alternator fitted to the vehicle, as matching by model name alone is not enough.
