A primary coil which includes a primary winding which is wound around a primary bobbin, and a secondary coil which includes a secondary winding which is separately wound around a secondary bobbin which includes a plurality of sections, are provided, and a winding portion of the secondary coil is configured in a state where a maximum winding height is set as 20% through 30% with respect to an axis length winding length.

An ignition coil for an internal combustion engine includes a primary bobbin including a winding cylinder part and a connection part between the winding cylinder part and a connector part, a primary coil including a primary main coil and a primary sub coil, and a secondary coil. When one of the primary main coil and the primary sub coil that includes an innermost coil part around the winding cylinder part is defined as a firstly-wound coil and the other is defined as a secondly-wound coil, firstly-wound ends, which are ends of the firstly-wound coil, and secondly-wound ends, which are ends of the secondly-wound coil, are attached to the connection part, and a shortest distance from a central axis of the winding cylinder part to each of the firstly-wound ends is smaller than a shortest distance from the central axis of the winding cylinder part to each of the secondly-wound ends.

This disclosure provides an ignition coil for a spark ignited internal combustion engine. The ignition coil includes a coil body having an outer surface and internal windings coupled to a connector. The ignition coil also includes a housing surrounding the coil body. The housing has an outer wall spaced apart from the outer surface of the coil body thereby forming a gap between the outer surface of the coil body and the outer wall. The outer wall includes an opening in flow communication with the gap.

A method of assembling the ignition coil assembly including a first spool, a first coil, and a second spool. The first coil is wound around a first spool outer surface. The first spool and the first coil are disposed within a cavity of the second spool and an electrically insulating material injected into an annular space defined between a first coil outer surface and a second spool inner surface. The first spool is configured to allow a decrease of a circumference of the first spool when the first coil is wound around an outer surface of the first spool. Decreasing the circumference of the first spool increases the annular space sufficient to inject the electrically insulating material into the annular space without creating substantial voids in the electrically insulating material.

An automobile ignition coil for use in an ignition system is provided having a central cylindrical magnetic core element, and a secondary coil circumscribing the core element. The second linear length of copper wire has a cross sectional area in a rectangular, rhomboid or hexagonal regular polygonal shape. A primary coil circumscribes the secondary coil, and similarly has a cross sectional area in a rectangular, rhomboid or hexagonal regular polygonal shape.

An ignition coil has a core with a longitudinal axis, a secondary winding extending around the core, a sleeve extending around the core, a primary winding wrapped around the sleeve, and a controller connected to the primary winding so as to oscillate alternating current to said primary winding. The secondary winding has a high-voltage end and a low-voltage end. The primary winding is in spaced longitudinal relationship from the secondary winding. Specifically, the primary winding is located longitudinally away from the high-voltage end of the secondary winding. A bobbin is positioned over and around the core. The secondary winding is wrapped around at least a portion of the bobbin.
