Abstract
A motor vehicle starter system includes a contactor comprising an annular cylindrical armature and a winding which actuates a movable core in axial displacement, so that the latter acts on a control rod extending through the centre of a fixed core in the form of a disc. The control rod controls axial displacements of a movable contact, and the contactor further includes a hood having the general form of a cylindrical pot, with a skirt portion which defines a housing. The movable contact is arranged within this housing. The starter system also includes an electronic control system for the contactor, comprising a support member such as a printed circuit board, and circuit components carried by the support member. The electronic control circuit is arranged inside the contactor.
