Patent attributes
An electromagnetic switch for a starter comprises a current-supply terminal and a vibration absorber configured to absorb vibration imposed on the terminal. The terminal is provided so that one end of the terminal is tightly attached to the switch, and the other end is connected to a cable which supplies electric current to the switch. One end of the terminal is tightly attached to a bobbin wound by an excitation coil to which the current is supplied and the other end protrudes through a molded cover outward to be connected to the cable at a connection port formed in the molded cover. The vibration absorber is, for example, a bent portion of the terminal formed integrally with the terminal itself. One or more flexible members are attached to the terminal to support the terminal within the electromagnetic switch and to seal inner spaces between the terminal and the switch.
