Abstract
A distributor containing an apparatus for suppressing noise is described, comprising a first spark discharging gap and a second spark discharging gap which exists close to the first spark discharging gap both of which are located between the electrodes of a distributor rotor and a stationary terminal, wherein the second spark discharging gap is formed through a dielectric member which is fixed to the distributor rotor and/or a stationary terminal, and the gap distance of the second spark discharging gap is shorter than that of the first spark discharging gap. The difference between the first spark discharging gap distance and the second spark discharging gap distance should be less than 3mm but greater than 0.2mm. Preferably, the difference should be less than 1.5mm but greater than 0.5mm.
