If it is connected to the starter then it is the Solenoid, i.e. the relay for the starter.

Effectively you use a light current, i.e. a thin wire from the starter switch to enable the solenoid. The solenoid then uses a thick plate to connect the two fat wires together and the starter turns. A normal starter/ignition switch can never handle the high current the starter motor draws

Try any Midas shop.
