Abstract
A corona igniter assemblycomprises an ignition coil assembly, a firing end assembly, and a metal tubeconnecting the ignition coil assemblyto the firing end assembly. A rubber bootis disposed in the metal tubeand compressed symmetrically between a coil output memberof the ignition coil assemblyand an insulatorof the firing end assembly. Thus, the rubber bootfills any air gaps and provides a hermetic seal between the ignition coil assemblyand the firing end assemblyto prevent unwanted corona discharge from forming from those air gaps.
