Abstract
An alternator for a motor vehicle has a rectifier bridge with positive diodes which are received in holes formed in a thermally conductive sector, which is fixed to an end plate of the alternator casing and which constitutes a thermal dissipator for the rectifier bridge. The rectifier bridge further includes a second sector of thermally conductive material, which is fixed to the first sector over the holes in the latter in which the positive diodes are received.
