  2. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    A starter solenoid is an electromagnet which is actuated to engage the starter motor of an internal combustion engine. It is normally attached directly to the starter motor which it controls. Its primary function is as the actuating coil of a contactor (a relay designed for large electric currents) which connects the battery to the starter ...

  3. Magnetic starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_starter

    A magnetic starter has a contactor and an overload relay, which will open the control voltage to the starter coil if it detects an overload on a motor. [1] [2] The overload relay opens a set of contacts that are wired in series with the supply to the contactor feeding the motor. The characteristics of the heaters can be matched to the motor so ...

  4. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    If a starter solenoid receives insufficient power from the battery, it will fail to start the motor and may produce a rapid, distinctive "clicking" or "clacking" sound. This can be caused by a low or dead battery, by corroded or loose connections to the battery, or by a broken or damaged positive (red) cable from the battery.

  5. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    In order to reduce failures, a precise knowledge of bond strength quality measurement during product design and subsequent manufacture is of vital importance. The best place to start is with the failure mode. This is based on the assumption that there is a particular failure mode, or range of modes, that may occur within a product.

  6. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

    An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.

  7. Relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

    A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple control signals, and a set of operating contact terminals. The switch may have any number of contacts in multiple contact forms, such as make contacts, break contacts, or combinations thereof.

    Luck. Fate. Blessing. A glitch in the matrix. Or, if you’re more skeptical, just a coincidence.. It’s a phenomenon that, from a statistical perspective, is random and meaningless.

  9. Dry contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_contact

    Dry contact may mean any of the following in electronics: . No current: A dry contact is the synonym of volt free — it is not "wetted" by a voltage source.Dry contact can refer to a secondary set of contacts of a relay circuit which does not make or break the primary current being controlled by the relay.
