Why Ignition Coils Fail
Ignition coils operate in a tough environment. Stresses created by vibration, temperature changes, and even the failure of spark plugs and other components can cause ignition coil wiring to break or short out. The insulation inside the ignition coil can also fail, causing energy to escape.
THREE REASONS TO CHOOSE DELPHI’S IGNITION COIL LINE
1. Precision Manufacturing Processes
We back up our innovative ignition coil design with intelligent manufacturing. Delphi uses winding process techniques to control the length of wire between adjacent windings. That’s important because more length results in greater voltage differences, which can create more pressure that could break down the insulation and wire coating.
2. Tested and Proven with the Delphi Difference
Built with the benefit of more than 100 years of Delphi’s OE heritage, our ignition coils are engineered to OE specifications. Delphi coils are designed and endurance tested to resist the common stresses that cause failure.
3. Innovative Design and Materials
Delphi has analyzed the environment that ignition coils must withstand and is combating failure issues with high-quality design and materials. We back our ignition coil design with proven materials, such as high quality wires and wire coating that resists the cracks, pin holes and imperfections that most often lead to failure issues. We also use an epoxy vacuum technique to reduce air bubbles in the epoxy, because having fewer air bubbles increases the epoxy’s insulating quality and reduces the chances of energy punch-through failures.
