Abstract:
An L-shaped plug connection for connecting a high-voltage cable to a spark plug, said plug connection comprising:a socket terminal having a tubular cable-connecting portion having an inner diameter, a semi-tubular plug connecting portion extending in a perpendicular direction to said cable-connecting portion and having an open end zone, said open end zone having a wall thickness and a pair of opposed rim portions, and an intermediate cavity portion being provided therebetween and having a predetermined dimension in the transverse direction of said cable-connecting portion;a C-shaped elastic ring;an elastomeric boot having an L-shaped cavity including at least an inner face facing an outer face of said cable-connecting portion and a projecting inside corner at the intersection between said intermediate cavity portion and said rim portions and leaving a gap therebetween; andsaid plug connection comprising a plug-guiding arrangement being configured to enable smooth fitting to, and removal from, said spark plug, wherein said plug-guiding arrangement comprises a channel in said inner face of said L-shaped cavity at a position corresponding to the position of said elastic ring, whereby said channel receives said elastic ring and further includes a space sufficient to receive said elastic ring when it is expanded, such that said elastic ring engages said channel to resist displacement thereof during removal of said spark plug.
