The invention relates to a semiconductor body revolving around a main axis (A) for a spark plug of a turbine engine, the semiconductor body comprising a baseplate and an upper portion extending from the baseplate along the main axis, the baseplate comprising a bottom surface substantially defined in a plane perpendicular to the main axis and a first conical surface intended to cooperate by form-fitting at least partially with a contact surface of an outer electrode of the spark plug. According to the invention, the upper portion comprises an interface located opposite the bottom surface along the main axis (A) and featuring a profile that is at least partially corrugated.
A semiconductor body revolving around a main axis (A) for a spark plug of a turbine engine, the semiconductor body comprising a baseplate and an upper portion extending from the baseplate along the main axis, the baseplate comprising a bottom surface substantially defined in a plane (B) perpendicular to the main axis and a first conical surface intended to cooperate at least partially by form-fitting with a contact surface of an outer electrode of the spark plug, wherein the upper portion comprises an interface opposite the bottom surface along the main axis (A) and featuring a profile that is at least partially corrugated configured to at least prevent the displacement and/or rotation of the semiconductor body in the spark plug, the corrugated profile features alternating summits and troughs having ridges, the ridges of the summits are tangent to a first plane parallel to the plane of the bottom surface and the ridges of the troughs are tangent to a second plane parallel to the plane of the bottom surface.
A spark plug of a semiconductor type for a turbine engine, the spark plug comprising a free cylindrical end that extends along the main axis (A), the free end comprising, centered on the main axis, a central electrode, and an outer electrode,
