A method is described for the assembly of a magnetic core for a transformer, with the following steps: Cutting sheet metal blanks from transformer sheet, stacking the sheet metal blanks to form magnetic core segments, placing a permanent magnet at one of the magnetic core segments so that the latter is magnetized by the permanent magnet, formation of the magnetic core by placing the remaining magnetic core segments against the permanent magnet, or against a magnetic core segment already magnetized by the permanent magnet. A magnetic core is also disclosed.

Method for assembling a magnetic core for a transformer

An ignition coil is described for an internal combustion engine, with a housing, a transformer, which is arranged in an interior space of the housing, and potting compound, with which the interior space of the housing is cast. In accordance with this disclosure provision is made for the transformer to be covered by a mat, which is embedded in the potting compound.

Ignition coil and method for the manufacture of an ignition coil

A primary coil former for an ignition coil has a winding carrier surface configured for a primary coil wound thereon. Two primary winding stops limit the winding carrier surface at first and second axial ends of the carrier surface, respectively. Two holders are formed at the first axial end, each configured for holding one end of a winding wire. Two deflection domes are formed at the second axial end, one of the domes configured for guiding a winding wire back to the winding carrier surface for a clockwise winding and the other dome configured for guiding a winding wire back to the winding carrier surface for a counterclockwise winding. A groove in the winding carrier surface receives a winding wire which leads from one of the ends of the winding carrier surface up to a gap between the two deflection domes at the opposite end of the winding carrier surface.

Primary coil former for an ignition coil, and ignition coil with such a primary coil former

An inventive ignition coil has a transformer that includes a primary coil, a secondary coil and a core formed from stacked metal sheets. A plastic frame holds the sheets. A housing surrounds an interior in which the transformer is arranged and the interior is sealed with an electrically insulating casting compound. The housing comprises an interior wall bounding bounds a compartment in which a part of the core is arranged, the part of the core being outside the primary coil and the secondary coil.

Ignition coil

A connector plug is described for connecting an ignition coil to a spark plug, comprising an electrical conductor, which has a first end for contacting the ignition coil and a second end for contacting the spark plug, and a protective tube, which surrounds the electrical conductor. In accordance with this disclosure it is proposed that the protective tube has a predetermined bending point with a reduced bending stiffness.
