A silicone extension for an ignition coil for internal combustion engines, comprising an elongated tubular body extending along its main direction between a first end portion, shaped to be engaged in a container containing electrical/electronic means for the generation of high voltage electrical energy, and a second end portion shaped to accommodate the insulating body of an ignition spark plug;
- wherein the tubular body is made of self-lubricating silicone rubber.
A method of assembling and installing an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of:
- providing a container containing electrical/electronic means for the generation of high voltage electrical energy having a connecting protrusion;
- providing a spark plug having a pair of electrodes and an insulating body;
- providing a connection conductive element extending along the main direction between a first end and a second end;
- providing a silicone extension comprising an elongated tubular body extending along its main direction between a first end portion and a second end portion;
- said tubular body of the silicone extension being made of self-lubricating silicone rubber;
- connecting said first end of the conductive element to said electrical/electronic means at said protrusion of the container;
- inserting the conductive element in said cavity of the tubular body of the silicone extension;
- engaging said connecting protrusion of the container in the first end portion of the tubular body of the silicone extension;
- connecting said second end of the conductive element to the insulating body of the spark plug;
- engaging, without the use of lubricants, the insulating body of the spark plug in the second end portion of the tubular body of the silicone extension.
