NGK Spark Plug Europe Gmbh products

Metal rod glow plugs are equipped with a heating coil in a glow rod made of heat-resistant metal. A specific material – magnesium oxide – in the interior of this glow rod, protects the heating coil from vibrations and shocks. As magnesium oxide is also an outstanding thermal conductor, the heat that is produced can quickly be dissipated outward. Metal rod glow plugs can be allocated into three main groups: standard rod glow plugs, self-regulating rod glow plugs, and AQGS rod glow plugs.

Copper core ignition cables with interference suppression are comprised of a copper core surrounded by a silicone layer that serves as an electrical insulator. Copper is an excellent conductor, but is also very sensitive to corrosion. Therefore, the copper core of such ignition cables is tin-plated. The outer insulation, made of silicone rubber, can withstand temperatures up to 220°C and is resistant to gas and oil.

With a distributor ignition coil, the high-voltage pulse generated by the ignition coil passes through an ignition cable to a mechanical ignition distributor. This, in turn, distributes the high-voltage pulse to the corresponding ignition cable, which provides voltage to the cylinder. This ignition coil type can be found in older vehicles; it was in use well into the 1990s.
