Abstract
A connector disposed at a distal end of a high tension cord having a conductive core therein for carrying an ignition voltage current for igniting air-fuel mixture in an internal combustion engine. A conductive connecting member is connected to the conductive core and a cover made of an insulation material is disposed therearound. A conductor is embedded in the insulation cover such that it locates around the conductive connecting member keeping a predetermined distance therefrom and sandwiching a portion of the insulation cover, whereby a capacitor, which constitutes a capacitive divider in cooperation with a second capacitor for detecting misfire through the ignition voltage, is formed between the conductive connecting member and the conductor. A ceramic insulator can be positioned between the conductor and the conductive connecting member section. The conductor can further be electrically shielded. The cover has a portion to be firmly secured with a mated portion of a device such as an inlet connector of an ignition distributor so as to be held there in position.
