What is this?

Try Google. A search revealed it to be a dual Schottky rectifier which can be used with a center-tapped transformer to form a full-wave rectifier.
 
Dual diode module in a common cathode configuration. They also come in common anode flavors.

It would prevent EMF spikes as part of a snubber circuit. The cathode would probably then lead to a resistor and capacitor in parallel which would absorb the high voltage induction spikes from the motor.
