Abstract
A connection fitting for connecting an ignition cable, to which a high voltage current is supplied, with a terminal fitting provided in a recess. The connection fitting is surrounded by an insulator and includes a first fitting engaged with, and fixedly secured to, the insulator, and a second fitting the outer circumferential surface of which is spaced from the inside surface of the insulator and which is engaged with the terminal fitting of a spark plug. The second fitting is movably engaged with the first fitting so as to be capable of being freely displaced relative to the first fitting in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the recess. If the axis of the first fitting is shifted at an angle with respect to the axis of the recess and the terminal fitting, the second fitting is displaced relative to the first fitting in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the recess. The freedom of movement of the second fitting prevents abrasion of the fittings and of the insulator.
