The present invention relates to a connection relay for a starter of an internal combustion engine, by means of which a starter pinion is first engaged with a ring gear of the internal combustion engine, after which a starting motor is started. Switched on. In order to use the starting motor to slowly engage the starter pinion with the ring gear, a switch of the connection relay is formed as a switching contact (54), which switches the starting motor when stationary. Switching via the resistor (39), in the operating state the starting motor is switched directly to the electrical supply (+30), after which the resistor (13) is switched off. |
