Sometimes referred to as a starter solenoid, a starter relay is used to switch the high current needed to turn the starter motor on an internal combustion engine. Market changes, such as the need for start/stop functionality, are requiring improvements in starter relay performance – namely a much longer operating life. High-compression engine designs may require higher currents for starting. These changes challenge existing high-current contactor designs.
