id0118h6101400
Purpose, Function
• The spark plug generates spark, ignition of the air-fuel mixture occurs, and combustion of the air-fuel mixture is triggered.
Construction
• The spark plug is installed to the cylinder head.
• Iridium on the center electrode and platinum on the ground electrode are used (iridium spark plug).
• Because iridium has excellent durability, extreme thinning on the center electrode is achieved.
• The area contacting flame is decreased by extremely thinning the center and setting electrodes, and extinction action is reduced. Therefore, excellent ignition performance is achieved.
