The problem of assembling and maintaining good electrical contact in a rotating rectifier assembly (40) is solved using deformable connectors (66). The rectifier assembly (40) includes three planar disks (48) which are linearly aligned and spaced along an axis (42). Six diode wafers (58) are arranged in two parallel planes which are parallel to the axis (42). The three diodes (58) in each plane are positioned on one of the oppositely directed planar faces (50, 52) of the disks (48). The three diodes (58) in each plane are connected by a copper connector bar (46) which forms an output. The assembly is surrounded by an insulating sleeve (62), and three deformable spring rings (66) are used to provide an interference fit.
