Abstract
Improved high tension coil and electrical connector for the ignition system of an internal combustion engine. The secondary of an ignition coil is wound with the outer turn thereof electrically connected to a foil strip disposed on the outer surface of the coil. The coil is fitted within a housing adjacent a terminal for connection to a spark plug cable. A spring contact electrically connects the cable to the foil strip carried by the coil, the spring being tensioned against said coil to insure good electrical contact and maintain the components in assembled relation for the potting operation.
Claims4
Ignition coil for an internal combustion engine comprising a housing, a secondary coil disposed within said housing and being convolutely wound of alternate layers of conductor wire and insulating paper, the outer end of said conductor wire being bonded in electrical contact with a conductive foil terminal disposed on the outer surface of the coil, a lead wire extending into said housing for connecting the voltage induced in said secondary coil to a spark gap device of the engine, a spring contact member interconnecting in a tensioned condition said lead wire and said conductive foil terminal.
