Abstract
A motor vehicle starter contactor includes a fixed core and a control rod for displacing a movable contact into and out of cooperation with fixed contact terminals carried on the base of a cover hood of the contactor. The contactor also has an electronic control circuit, the components of which are carried by a printed circuit board in the form of a disc, which is located within the cover hood of the contactor, in an axial position intermediate between the fixed core and the movable contact. The printed circuit board is fixed on a support which is carried by the fixed core. The support provides, in particular, electrical ground connection between the printed circuit and the fixed core.
