Ignition terminal
View Patent ↗An ignition terminal assembly including a serpentine conduction element having an end and a formed terminal connected to said end.
1. An ignition terminal assembly, comprising:
a serpentine conduction element having an end; and
a formed terminal connected to said end, said serpentine conduction element having a spring-like interaction with said formed terminal.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a resistive element substantially surrounded by said serpentine conduction element.
3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein said serpentine conduction element does not touch itself.
4. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein said resistive element is substantially cylindrical.
5. The assembly of claim 4 , wherein said serpentine conduction element is in electrical contact with said resistive element at a plurality of locations.
6. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein said resistive element is a ferrite resistor.
7. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said serpentine conduction element has a quasi-sinusoidal shape.
8. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said serpentine conduction element is formed in a substantially cylindrical manner giving said serpentine element a cylindrical serpentine shape.
9. The assembly of claim 8 , wherein said serpentine conduction element has a longitudinal axis and is resilient along said axis.
10. The assembly of claim 9 , further comprising an other terminal, said serpentine conduction element having an other end, said other terminal being one of attached to and integral with said other end.
