Abstract: An ignition coil, in particular for an internal combustion engine of an automotive vehicle, comprising a housing and a magnetic assembly integrated with the said housing, the magnetic assembly comprising a magnetic core mounted within a primary winding spool, a secondary winding spool coaxial with the primary winding spool, a primary winding, a secondary winding, a magnetic flux return circuit, low tension electrical supply means including a connector, and a plurality of connecting strips moulded onto the said connector and having ends on the outside of the said connector, and holding means for holding the said connector and connecting strips on the magnetic assembly, characterized in that the holding means are defined by the said ends of the connecting strips cooperating with slots formed in a flange of the secondary winding spool.

Abstract: An ignition coil comprises at least one magnetic assembly, each of which has a central magnetic core, around which two formers, namely a primary and a secondary former, are arranged coaxially. The formers carry the primary and secondary windings respectively, and the magnetic assembly further includes retaining means adapted to position and secure the primary former within the secondary former. These retaining means comprise steps formed integrally in a tubular cavity of the secondary former and cooperating with one of the end plates of the primary former.
