A distributor cap for use in an internal combustion engine includes the ignition cable 5 having at one end thereof a terminal member 9. A bonding member 10 is molded from a hot-melt adhesive resin such as to bury both the terminal member and a portion of the ignition cable in the vicinity of the one end. A connecting member 11 is integrally secured to the bonding member, the connecting member being molded from a resin having the same quality as that of the resin employed to form the distributor cap. The connecting member is adapted to receive a longitudinally intermediate portion of the terminal member such that a distal end portion 9' of the terminal member is exposed to the outside. A tower portion 4 of the distributor cap is formed with a recess 15 which receives the connecting member. Further, the connecting member is fitted into the recess and is integrally welded to the tower portion.
