Abstract
An electromagnetic switch for controlling an electric power supply to a starting motor is located in the periphery of one side of an output shaft in a radial direction thereof and coaxially with the output shaft. The electromagnetic switch has a motor contact connected with a power supply circuit for supplying brushes with electric power. The motor contact comprises a battery-side fixed contact formed integrally with a battery terminal, a motor-side fixed contact electrically connected with a positive brush through a lead wire and a plate, and a movable contact held by an end of a plunger. In the case where the electromagnetic switch is located not coaxially, the electromagnetic switch is shaped in a flat form and located in parallel with the output shaft so that the central axis thereof resides radially inside the outer periphery of a starting motor.
