Product Description

This item is an aviation spark plug with a fine‑wire iridium firing configuration used for ignition in compatible aircraft piston engines. It functions as an engine cylinder ignition element that delivers the required spark for combustion in general aviation powerplants that specify this plug designation.

0 1. Overview

The plug incorporates a high‑conductivity copper core center electrode enclosed in a nickel alloy sleeve to manage heat flow and electrical conduction in the firing area. A high alumina ceramic insulator with a protective glaze provides dielectric strength and mechanical durability for operation in severe engine environments. The firing end uses a fine‑wire configuration with a shaped electrode tip that concentrates heat at the firing point. Ground electrodes are formed from aviation‑grade nickel to maintain specified gaps while keeping firing voltage requirements under control. A proprietary glass center seal is fired in place to create a stable resistor connection between the center electrode and harness contact. The design uses a vacuum‑infused center electrode process to close the electrode‑insulator interface and promote effective cooling. A Hot‑Lock shell‑to‑insulator assembly is produced under pressure and heat to maintain a gas‑tight joint during combustion cycles. The harness contact end uses an oxide‑treated spring contact surface that is bonded to the fired‑in resistor for consistent electrical termination. The plug is manufactured in the United States and is supplied as a single unit with an approximate weight of 0.28 pounds and nominal dimensions of about 3.5 by 1 by 1 inches.
