  • Patent number: 11876351
    Abstract: A prechamber spark plug, including center and ground electrodes, a housing having an external thread, a cap arranged on the housing and together with the housing defines a prechamber, and an insulator which electrically insulates the center electrode from the housing. The external thread has a thread length in the axial direction. The housing is fastened to the insulator at first and second fixing regions so that a first clamping force at the first fixing region acts from the housing on the insulator, and a second clamping force at the second fixing region acts from the housing on the insulator. The first and second clamping forces are directed in opposite directions to one another in the axial direction. A distance between the first and second fixing regions in the axial direction defines a clamping length. A ratio between the thread length and the clamping length is between 0.7 to 1.3.
