Abstract
An ignition apparatus for an internal combustion engine has an ignition coil 4,5 disposed within an electrically insulating case 1, and a power switch 6 disposed within the case and comprising a switching unit 8, 9 for intermittently supplying a primary current to the ignition coil. A gel 12 is disposed over the switching unit and at least one electrical wire conductor 21 having one end connected to the switching unit and the other end extending outwardly of the power switch. An electrically insulating resin 14 fills the insulating case, and supports/covers the ignition coil and the power switch. The electrical wire conductor includes a flexible bent portion 21a disposed within the gel for absorbing any tension in the conductor. With this arrangement, a heat shock resistant performance of the wire conductor is improved and working reliability is also improved.
