This came on our recently purchased CCPU. It can be used for either positive or negative ground. There's no brand name on it, I googled the P/N and got zilch. It's encapsulated so the inards can't be seen. I'm thinking that it's just a pair of diodes arranged parallel with one one way and one the other way. But then again maybe it's a regulator?

The generator is kinda strange too, it's got 2 wires coming out of it, one is grounded and the other is the output.

With it off the car, a quick Ohmeter test would tell you if it just contains DIODES.

I believe it would have one diode and that's why you switch sides when you switch polarity, as the picture shows. I haven't seen one like that before. The generator is post Model A production, and I see the output wire needs to be replaced.

YEP, and a lot of problems could be eliminated by using GOOD solder on connectors.

I think I've seen something like that cut-out for sale at one time on eBay.
A guy was selling a lot of tractor/farm equiptment electrical components.
Much of it for Delco-Remy stuff. The genny it is mounted on looks like it maybe a Delco?

I agree with Bob. Looks to be for a Delco generator. Rod

This appears to be made by a company named JIMCO, who apparently does not sell this cut out any longer. At least a search of their web site does not bring anything up.
They make automotive electrical test equipment and some rectifier regulators.
Not much help, but more than you had before.

That is the logo alright. A call might revel some interesting information, and then maybe not.

Thanks for the replys. I tested it w/a multimeter and it appears to be just a diode.
