Abstract (en)

[origin: US6068495A] PCT No. PCT/DE97/00459 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 18, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 18, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 8, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/36354 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 2, 1997The invention relates to a spark plug connector for an internal combustion engine, comprising a plug-in contact (28) for the electrode connection of a spark plug; a connector sleeve (3) surrounding the plug-in contact (28); a connection (32) for an ignition cable; a single-piece, rigid, supporting connector sleeve (3) made of an insulating material; and an elastic means (20) attached to the connector sleeve (3) which seals the gap (22) between the connector sleeve and a spark plug well of an engine cylinder, with the spark plug connector being guided in the spark plug well by the elastic means, in which a) the material of the connector sleeve (3) has a high melting point and a high electric strength; b) the gap between the connector sleeve (3) and the ceramic shaft of the spark plug is sealed by an elastic means (17) attached to the connector sleeve, by which means the spark plug connector is guided during plug-in onto the spark plug; c) in the connector sleeve (3) a ceramic inlet (7) is provided which encloses the plug-in contact (28) and the ignition cable connection (32), with the plug-in contact (28) and the ignition cable connection (32) being embedded in the ceramic inlet (7) in such a way that the ceramic part in axial direction protrudes beyond the plug-in contact (28) and the connection (32) for the ignition cable.
