1. Battery Terminal (BAT):
- Color: Red
- Function: Connects the alternator to the positive terminal of the battery, allowing the alternator to charge the battery.
2. Ignition Terminal (IGN):
- Color: Green or Black
- Function: Provides power to the alternator when the ignition switch is turned on, allowing the alternator to start generating electricity.
3. Field Terminal (FLD):
- Color: White
- Function: Carries the field current from the voltage regulator to the alternator, controlling the strength of the magnetic field and thus the amount of electricity generated.
4. Ground Terminal (GND):
- Color: Black
- Function: Connects the alternator to the vehicle's chassis, providing a path for the electrical current to complete the circuit.
