Abstract: A spark plug having a tube-shaped, metal housing, an insulator which is retained by the housing, and an inner conductor arrangement embedded in the insulator, the inner conductor arrangement comprising one connection bolt, one burn-off resistor, one contact pin, and one platinum central electrode, and four ground electrodes, which are bent towards the central electrode and protrude beyond the insulator by the width of their thickness, being secured to the housing, the contact pin being coated and being shortened in its length such that the burn-off resistor is forward-positioned as far as possible towards the spark gap, and the platinum central electrode having a nail shape, whose rear part has a smaller diameter than its front part, which extends out of the insulator.
