Abstract
A stick-type ignition coil to be directly connected to a spark plug via a spring. A high tension case containing a high tension terminal and a spring is integrally connected to the bottom end of a high tension generating portion of the ignition coil. The high tension terminal and the spring are separately supported in the high tension case before the spark plug is connected to the ignition coil. When the spark plug is connected, the spring is compressed and contacts the high tension terminal, thereby making electrical contact between the ignition coil and the spark plug. Since the spring and the high tension terminal are supported on separate positions in the case, the spring can be properly compressed without being distorted or jammed between the high tension terminal and the case.
