In a magnet switch (50) for a starter, a first contact portion (70) and a second contact portion (80) are connected in parallel between a battery and a motor. The first contact portion (70) makes contact through a resistive component so that the motor star...

An improved DC electrical starting motor and method for starting internal combustion engines that reduces starter motor noise in the period after the engine starts by effecting breaking of the starter motor shaft at that time. Preferably the braking is acc...

A starter motor assembly is provided having a solenoid assembly that includes a pull-in coil that is comprised of a plurality of coils connected in parallel. The plurality of coils may comprise three coils that are formed from a single wire cut and connect...

A magnetic switch having a main motor switch for supplying power from a battery (30) to a starter motor (5) and an auxiliary relay (2) for operating the motor switch is mounted on the starter motor. The main motor switch includes copper contacts (3, 400b, ...

The switch contact has relatively movable counter contact (12) and contact elements (14,16). A resistance in the first contact element is larger than one in the second. In a first closed switch state the counter contact element contacts the first contact e...
