Copper ignition wires: with exterior insulation of rubber and parasite resistance

Picture of Copper ignition wires
Copper, an excellent conductor, ignition wires, but it has little resistance to corrosion, so in their manufacture is Tin the copper core. Tin coating prevents the copper to oxidize.

The copper core is surrounded by a silicone coating which gives greater rigidity to the cable and works as an electrical insulator.

The Outer Insulation silicone rubber endures temperatures of 220 ° C and is resistant to gasoline and oil.

They incorporate a pest resistance integrated in the form of glass fused with conductive elements on the spark plug and coil pipe. Depending on the cable, the resistance ranges from 1 to 6.5 k.
