Ignition lead sets

Ignition lead sets usually consist of four or more ignition leads.
They provide following basic functions:
- energy transmission in the ignition system
- protection of the radio reception against its interference
The suppression itself is ensured by material of the conductive cable core (resistance, inductive) or by the suppression resistor nested in the cable terminal (copper core leads).
Parts of the ignition lead:
- cable with electrically conductive core, covered by inner insulating layer and external coating
- contacts adapted to different types of ignition plugs, coils and distributors
- cable boots or cable terminals (with built-in suppression resistor and contact), protecting connection against dirt and chemical influences

Cable construction
The construction of ignition leads conforms to the requirements for the lowest possible loss of energy during its transmission. The table core insuring the primary way for electric current is manufactured from various materials (copper, resistance, inductive). Braided inner insulation provides electrical insulation and improves mechanical qualities in bend area. External coating protects the core, including insulation, against influence of working environment (protection against oils, petrol, acids, water steam etc.) but also against thermal stress in range from -40°C to +220°C according to the used material (EVA, silicone).
Cable connection distinction
by shape: straight, rectangular and angled
by contact type: M4, SAE, DIN, PIN and PIN/DIN combination
Materials used for terminal and boot production match to thermal stress from ignition plug, distributor or coil.

Parameters and set designation
TESLA BLATNÁ, a.s. offers ignition lead sets, made of the cables with different material combinations, determining characteristics of the set. TESLA ignition lead sets are identified by the catalog number T001X, that defines the type and colour of the leads of set (see table) and serves as identification for order. Following table explains coding of the ignition lead sets. Concrete description of sets included pdf catalogue sets - specification.
