Abstract:
An ignition coil for an internal combustion engine comprising low tension components including a low tension primary coil, and high tension components including a high tension secondary coil, a high tension terminal, a connecting member for connecting said high tension secondary coil and said high tension terminal, and a control circuit connected to said primary coil for generating a high tension potential at said high tension secondary coil by intermittently supplying current to said low tension primary coil, said ignition coil comprising:a conductive member, extending axially and circumferentially between said high tension secondary coil and said high tension terminal to have said a high tension potential, thereby providing a conductive surface area to moderate electric field strength around said connecting member, said conductive member being provided substantially from an end of said high tension coil to said high tension terminal.
