My starter contactor is the type that has two small terminals in addition to the two large load 5/16" terminals.



I want to make sure that the spike catching diode is to be installed across the "I" and "S" terminals so that the banded end of the diode faces the S terminal and that there's a jumper from S to the hot side of the 5/16" terminals.



And does it matter which terminal (I or S) receives the switch leg of my START button? I plan to use the I terminal for a stuck starter light.



Thanks,

John

Depending on who you got it from, it may already have the diode installed.  Meanwhile, here's the diagram that came with mine from B&C

Ralph,

As you got yours from B&C, it's probably already got the diode internally. The photo doesn't help me because it doesn't show diode installation/orientation. 



I'm almost certain that the banded end faces the S terminal if it's between the S & I. Less certain about the other questions, i.e. jumper, switch leg from START switch, etc.

   ???? What diagrams are you looking at? if your starter

   contactor looks like . . .

   it MAY already have a diode installed. Look on the bottom

   mounting flange. It might be marked "diode protected".

   If not so marked, then the banded end of the diode

   goes to the "S" terminal. The other end of the diode

   goes to one of the mounting base bolts.

   VERY much, the "S" terminal goes to the switch.

   Good.
