Distributor assembly for an internal combustion engine

Abstract

A distributor for an internal combustion engine comprising a base plate (20), a resin-molded ignition coil unit (21) and a resin-molded control unit (30) in a stacked relationship with their side circumferential surfaces exposed to define a portion of an outer surface of the distributor. A distributor cap (2), a cover (10) for covering the control unit are fastened to the base by a screw (32) extending through these components, and the ignition coil unit is attached to the base through a screw (24) extending through a bushing (23). The resin-molded ignition coil unit (21) may comprise an L-shaped external-connection connector (28, 37) integrally formed on the exposed side surface. The electrical connection between the ignition coil and the control unit may be established by a plug-in type connector (38, 39).
