Abstract
A distributor for an internal combustion engine has a housing, a shaft inserted in the housing, a head mounted on the shaft, a cap attached to the housing so as to cover the rotor head, a signal detector accommodated in the housing, a connector projecting outside the housing, and an ignition coil accommodated in the housing. The housing has a cut-out portion formed in a side wall thereof from an abutment between the cap and the housing and extending toward the bottom of the housing for receiving the connector, and the cap and the connector are tightly engaged with the housing through a gasket. Silicon rubber is charged in the gap between the housing and the ignition coil. A heat release plate may be provided between the housing and the signal detector so that a path formed by the plate and the housing and surrounding a section of the core is electrically cut off, whereby no current flows in the path.
