The SM 8244 is a specialized 12V voltage regulator designed for the Ashok Leyland Dost series (including Dost LiTE, Strong, and Dost+). Unlike standard plug-in models, this version features an integrated wire lead with a 2-Pin L-Type connector. This design is specifically used in certain alternator batches to provide a more flexible and vibration-resistant connection to the vehicle's main wiring harness.
