Abstract:
1. A rectifying device of a vehicle alternator, the rectifying device comprising: a heat sink; a circuit board including a connection terminal disposed to be orthogonal to the heat sink, and being disposed in parallel with the heat sink; and a diode assembly including: wherein the connection lead includes a linear part that is extended in parallel to the second surface of the metallic base and bared from the sealing resin body at a root, and a bent part that is bent more than 90° substantially like an arc from the linear part, a bending radius R of the bent part is set to a value larger than a separation distance w in a horizontal direction between a terminal of the linear part and a distal part of the connection lead, the terminal of the linear part is disposed between the root of the linear part and a vertical line drawn through the distal part of the connection lead, and a distance from the bared root of the linear part to a most distal portion of the arc of the bent part is less than twice the bending radius R.
