Top 10 Ignition Coil Companies

More than a century has passed since the invention of the ignition coil. But today, in the most modern cars equipped with gasoline engines, this electric device plays a crucial role. The main task of the ignition coil is to convert the low voltage current (12 V) to the high voltage current (up to 50,000 V). As a result, a powerful spark is formed in the candle, which ignites the air-gas mixture in the engine cylinder.

Repair ignition coils are not subject, so the car owner sooner or later have to pick up a new node. Currently, several companies are producing ignition coils for the same motor at once. Even on Lada Priora or Largus, it is possible to pick up both spare parts of domestic firms and analogues of foreign manufacturers. When choosing it is important to pay attention to several factors.

1. The easiest way is to pick up a current transducer using the vehicle VIN. The technical parameters of all electrical devices are precisely calculated at the car plant; therefore, the coil should deliver no more and no less than the specified current.
2. Car owners who are able to independently remove the defective part, can go with it to the nearest store. Only it should be noted that the ignition system in modern gasoline engines may differ significantly. In the same car brand schemes with one ignition coil can be used, as well as designs, where a separate converter is installed on each spark plug.
3. With regard to the choice of the manufacturer, the experts recommend to give preference to the original parts. But they may not suit domestic motorists for various reasons, so it is worthwhile to analyze the possibilities offered by the market analogs.
