The Mazda B2200 Alternator performs a dual task of maintaining the charge of the battery and powering all the lamps, radios, and sensors with a constant supply of electricity as long as the pickup is in motion. It is mounted in a two-piece aluminum shell, and the parts of the core include a belt-driven rotor, a stationary stator, a front spindle bearing, a rear bearing that supports brushes and a rectifier, a small fan, and a pulley that tap the crankshaft and supply mechanical energy. As the engine rotates the belt, the magnetic field of the rotor passes through the windings of the stator, generating AC power that the diodes of the rectifier convert into DC to allow the battery to store it. The output has to remain in a narrow range, and therefore the field current is continuously clipped by a voltage regulator. Early years of production were based on either a stand-alone or in-case regulator, with more recent Mazda updates folded into the powertrain control module, less hardware was put under the hood, and the accuracy of charging was enhanced. In each of the two arrangements, the working principle of the Alternator remains the same, although the newer design incorporates control electronics rather than external boxes, the primary difference that the owner may observe in diagnostics. No matter what model year, all B2200s have windings and diodes held in an aluminum enclosure cooled with fan-forced airflow to ensure that heat does not reach sensitive components. This B2200 Alternator design makes Mazda electronics steady, and this ensures that Mazda drivers are at peace when driving at night.
