Abstract
A switch is disclosed which includes both a switching assembly and a bridge rectifier, the switch assembly including contacts for connecting a DC motor such as the motor of an electric lawn mower, to AC supply lines or for short-circuiting the motor to rapidly stop rotation of the motor. Diodes of the bridge rectifier have terminals which are directly secured to portions of metal members which also carry contacts of the switch and/or serve as terminals for connection to the motor or the supply lines.
