摘要:
Disclosed herein is a spark plug having a wire wound inductive suppressor in its center bore for suppressing radio frequency interference. The suppressor utilizes a conductive, rather than a resistive wire as in many prior art suppressors. In addition, the suppressor employs a core of ferromagnetic materials rather than a ceramic or insulative core. This facilitates the attainment of high inductance values with relatively large diameter wire of comparatively few winding turns, with resistance kept at low values. The inductance produced by the suppressor tends to damp out radio frequency oscillations produced by the ignition system of which the spark plug is a part.
摘要:
An improved low inductance spring for holding a noise suppression resistor either in the bore of a spark plug insulator or at some other suitable point in the ignition system for an internal combustion engine. The spring is formed from an elongated resilient conductor which is preferably flat. The conductor is shaped to have a plurality of reverse bends which simulate pleats in the bellows of an accordion.
