Continental 49944 Alternator Decoupler Pulley

Continental 49944 is an alternator decoupler pulley for select Honda Accord applications from 2013-2017. It uses an internal torsion spring tuned to the application and a one-way clutch that lets the alternator coast when belt speed drops suddenly, such as during engine shutdown or a transmission shift.

Key Features

• Alternator decoupler pulley for electrical charging and starting system service
• Internal torsion spring tuned for the specific application
• One-way clutch allows alternator coast-down during abrupt belt speed changes
• Steel flanged pulley surface for durable belt contact
• Grooved pulley design with 7 mm bore diameter and 0.670 flanged pulley dimension
