Construction of a Plug


A

Notches

Lengthen out the surface distance in the insulator surface to restrict any possible discharge.

B

Casing

High strength and surface protection against corrosion.

C

Sealing Washer

Secures gas-tightness of the combustion chamber and good heat removal from the spark-plug to the cylinder head.

D

Central Electrode

High resistance to burn off, high thermal conductivity.

E

Insulator Top

Its shape facilities regulation of heat removal from the combustion chamber.

F

Pin

Made of steel wire resistance to vibrations; it's lower part is designed for tight attachment of the high-voltage supply.

G

Insulator

High Aluminium Trioxide (AL2O3) content provides high insulating resistance, good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength.

H

Resistance Sealing

Basic functions :
a) Mechanical connection of the insulator, pin and central electrode.
b) Electrical connection of the pin and central electrode.
c) Gas-tightness of the combustion chamber in shrouded spark-plugs - shielded emission of electromagnetic radiation -
    two contacting layers and one resistance layer.

I

Inner Sealing Washer

Provides gas-tightness of the combustion chamber, perfect heat transfer from the combustion chamber to the spark plug casing.

J

External Electrode

With high resistance against burn-off and good thermal conductivity.
