DESCRIPTION

The A/C compressor clutch assembly consists of a stationary electromagnetic A/C clutch field coil with a zener diode, a pulley bearing and pulley assembly, and a clutch plate (Figure 1). These components provide the means to engage and disengage the A/C compressor from the engine accessory drive belt.


The A/C clutch field coil and the pulley bearing and pulley assembly are both retained on the nose of the A/C compressor with snap rings. The clutch plate is splined to the compressor shaft and secured with a bolt.
