Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018034952A1] A corona igniter (20) comprises a central electrode (22) surrounded by an insulator (26), which is surrounded by a conductive component. The conductive component includes a shell (34) and an intermediate part (36) both formed of an electrically conductive material. The intermediate part is a layer of metal which brazes the insulator to the shell. An outer surface (50) of the insulator presents a lower ledge (52), and the layer of metal can be applied to the insulator above the lower ledge prior to or after inserting the insulator into the shell. The conductive inner diameter Dc is less than an insulator outer diameter Dio directly below the lower ledge such the insulator thickness ti increases toward the electrode firing end (40). The insulator outer diameter is also typically less than the shell inner diameter Dis also that the corona igniter can be reverse-assembled.
