An ignition coil, comprising:
- a center core;
- a primary coil wound around the center core;
- a secondary coil wound around the primary coil;
- a plurality of side cores, which are arranged around the secondary coil, and are coupled to the center core to form a closed magnetic path;
- a magnet inserted between the plurality of side cores;
- an igniter configured to control supply and interruption of a current to the primary coil;
- a case configured to accommodate the center core, the primary coil, the secondary coil, the plurality of side cores, the magnet, and the igniter;
- and
- insulating resin filled in the case,
- wherein the side cores include a wide portion having a larger width in a direction from the center core to the side cores, and a narrow portion having a smaller width than the width of the wide portion,
- wherein the magnet is inserted into the wide portion, and
- wherein the igniter is arranged between the narrow portion and the case.
19 An ignition coil according to claim 10, wherein a position in the side cores at which the magnet is inserted and a position in the side cores at which the igniter is arranged are set to a portion at which the side cores are extended in a direction perpendicular to the center axis of the center core.
