Abstract
A distributor cap comprises an ignition cable having a core wire exposed at one end thereof, a terminal member secured to the end portion of the ignition cable such that the terminal member is in contact with the core wire, a primary mold of a melt- adhesive resin material which is formed such as to cover that end portion of the ignition cable to which the terminal member is secured, and a synthetic resin cap body which is cast such as to wrap the primary mold. Formation of the primary mold enables the ignition cable and the terminal member to be reliably connected together in one unit and also makes it possible to secure the electrical connection between the core wire of the ignition cable and the terminal member. The primary mold is softened and fusion-welded to the cap body by heating applied during the cap body molding process. Thus, the area between the ignition cable and the synthetic resin cap body is hermetically sealed and the cable and the cap body are firmly connected together in one unit, so that it is possible to obtain superior waterproofness and dustproofness.
