Ignition Leads for Cars
Why Choose Valeo Ignition Leads?
The ignition leads are used to distribute the high voltage from the ignition coils to the spark plugs.
Valeo uses the 3 OE technologies of high tension wire (copper, reactive and resistive) to conduct the ignition spark into the spark plug of any modern vehicle, by respecting the vehicle technology.
For selected applications Valeo offers as well an alternative ‘value for money’ lead set in Resistive cable technology.
Choose Valeo, a major player for the Original Equipment and Experts in engine control systems.
What are Ignition Leads?
Ignition leads are used to distribute the high voltage from the ignition coils to the spark plugs during a vehicle’s ignition process.
Valeo offers more than 670 individual part numbers for car ignition leads. These references cover three OE high-tension wire technologies: reactive, copper, and resistive, to conduct the ignition spark into the spark plug of any modern vehicle, according to the high-tension wire technology equipping the vehicle.
Valeo also provides an alternative “value for money” ignition lead set with resistive cable technology for selected applications requiring a more affordable solution.
- Reactive technology consists of a cable with carbon-coated fibreglass wrapped with a wire
- Copper technology is the oldest ignition lead technology. It consists of a cable with a copper wire core and a 7 mm diameter
- Resistive technology uses a fibreglass core impregnated with carbon. The diameter of these beams is either 7mm or 8mm
