Application and Buying Notes

The most important checks on this alternator are the 12V system voltage, 210A output rating, pad mount layout, and the recorded dimensions: 108mm inside mounting legs, 190mm mount centre to centre, 13mm pivot hole, 12mm adjusting hole, and 22mm shaft diameter. These are the details that determine whether the unit will physically suit the application.

Because this is a bi-directional alternator with an internal regulator and insulated return, it is best matched by part number and application detail rather than by appearance alone. The listed part number is A160207, and the series is AVI160, which are the safest references to compare against the removed unit or vehicle specification.

The supplied fitment range covers a broad group of heavy vehicles, but the exact application still needs to line up with the mounting points, electrical arrangement, and accessory drive setup on the vehicle. The pulley section is marked not applicable, so verify how the replacement relates to your existing drive arrangement before fitting.

If you are replacing a charging system component that has been under load for long periods, the listed high temperature grease, seals, remote sense, and fan design are relevant features to note. They do not remove the need to confirm the physical and electrical match, especially on vehicles where alternator swaps have been made previously.

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 A160207 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.

Relevant published details for this unit include Type ALTERNATOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty One Year, Inside Mounting Legs 108mm, Pivot Hole Diameter 13, Pulley Section Not Applicable, Rotation Bi-Directional, Shaft Diameter 22mm, Voltage 12, Mount Cnt to Cnt 190mm.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Insulated Return Yes, Weight 9.54kg, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. A160207, Brand PRESTOLITE, Description Prestolite Alternator 12V 210A, Adjusting Hole Diameter 12, Mount Leg Thickness 80mm, Power Rating (Amp) 210, Regulator Type Internal.

Prestolite Alternator 12V 210A. Part number A160207 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 210. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

Mount style is Pad. Regulator type is Internal. Pulley configuration is Not Applicable. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.

For part number A160207, 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 210 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include CATERPILLAR CT SERIES, CATERPILLAR CT SERIES 2010, DENNIS EAGLE ELITE 2, DENNIS EAGLE ELITE 2 2010, FREIGHTLINER ARGOSY, FREIGHTLINER ARGOSY 2004. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching part number A160207 and checking the vehicle’s mounting dimensions, voltage, rotation, and regulator setup against the current alternator before purchase.
