Get Connected With NGK Ignition Leads
Outstanding insulating characteristics, a high level of heat resistance (up to 200°C) as well as resistance to vibrations and fluctuations in temperature and humidity are the primary requirements to be fulfilled by OE quality ignition leads. Only if they fully meet these requirements can ignition leads deliver reliability under extreme conditions – even over an extended period of time.
There are three different types of ignition leads, copper core, resistive and reactive which differ based on the materials used for the conductor and the type of resistor required for interference suppression. The technology used in NGK ignition leads meets the OE standards of car manufacturers.
Types of Ignition Leads
Copper core ignition cables with interference suppression are manufactured with a copper core surrounded by a silicone layer that serves as an electrical insulator. Copper is an excellent conductor, but is also very sensitive to corrosion. Therefore, the copper core of such ignition cables is tin-plated. The outer insulation, made of silicone rubber, can withstand temperatures up to 220°C and is resistant to gas and oil.
Carbon resistor ignition leads are manufactured with a fiberglass core with a silicone interior insulation. There is a coal-impregnated braided fiberglass inside a carbon resistor ignition cable. For carbon resistor ignition cables, the interference suppression resistance depends on the wire length. It can be calculated here (visit TekniWiki for more information).
Ignition leads with inductive resistor are surrounded by two silicone layers and fiberglass fabric. Like carbon resistor ignition leads, these ignition cables have a fiberglass core. The inner insulation made of silicone provides for stability and protects against high ignition voltages. The interference suppression resistance can be calculated here (visit TekniWiki for more information).
