Prestolite Alternator 12V 240A A160204

The Prestolite Alternator A160204 is a new 12V unit rated at 240A, supplied as each and backed by a one year warranty. It is a twin leg alternator with an internal regulator, insulated return, and bi-directional rotation, making the core electrical and mounting details clear before you compare it to your existing unit.

This alternator uses a 22mm shaft diameter, 101mm inside mounting legs, a 216mm mount centre-to-centre measurement, a 1/2 UNC adjusting hole diameter, and a 13mm pivot hole diameter. Those dimensions matter when checking bracket style, spacing, and physical interchange, especially where the existing alternator has a twin leg mount arrangement.

Product features include above ground design, remote sense, E-Coat, self excitation, high temperature grease and seals for longer bearing life, and a fan design intended to provide more efficient air flow and cooler operation under high output load conditions. At 9.36kg, it is a substantial rotating electrical component and should be matched carefully to the application and mounting setup.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number A160204, the Prestolite branding, and the mounting measurements: 101mm inside mounting legs, 216mm mount centre-to-centre, 1/2 UNC adjusting hole diameter, and 13mm pivot hole diameter. These are the most useful checks when you are matching the alternator to an existing setup.

The electrical rating is 12V and 240A, with an internal regulator and insulated return. If your vehicle or equipment uses a different voltage, external regulation, or a different return arrangement, this unit will not be a direct match without confirming the application first.

Rotation is bi-directional, so the unit is not limited to one spin direction, but that does not replace checking the physical mount and wiring requirements. The alternator is new, weighs 9.36kg, and is intended for a Prestolite application, so the safest buying step is to confirm the old unit details and compare all visible dimensions before installation.

The listed features, including remote sense, self excitation, E-Coat, and the high temperature grease and seals, are useful indicators of how the unit is built, but they do not override fitment checks. A correct match still depends on the part number, mount style, shaft diameter, and the clearance available around the alternator body and pulley area.

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 A160204 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.

Prestolite Alternator 12V 240A. Part number A160204 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 240. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

Mount style is Twin Leg. 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 A160204, 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 240 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment by matching the part number A160204 and comparing the listed mounting, electrical, and regulator details with your existing unit before purchasing.
