I found this in the shed earlier.

I guess it's one of the '60s charge light relays, for those few A-series with the alternator with the pair of unrectified AC pins on them.

The part number on it is 8363A-12V-J9
The AC end is marked "40V-1~"
The DC end is marked "L" "+" and "-"

Any idea how to test it, to see if it's worth doing anything with or just binning?

At the very simplest, I'm getting about 8.2kOhm between + and -, and 400Ohm between L and + on the DC end, but the AC end appears to be open circuit.

Sam - I'd say it's come from Hetty-bitz, so you get first call on it, I'd say, if it's worth having.

Dont bin it, worth dissecting to reverse engineer.

Thank you.Now,how shall I pay you.Paypal?(oh,have I sent you any club stickers for your bikes?)
Many thanks Adrian,whether it works or not,it will take pride of place in the engine compartment.

Hi Dave,
just like one of those, then? :lol:
ken

p.s Would a pair of Ducellier alternator AC output pins be of interest, tested and in working order? ;)
