Ignition Coil Type

There are three main types of ignition coils used on motorcycles, namely:
1. Canister Type
This type has an iron core in the middle and secondary coil surrounding the iron core. Primary coil in the outside of the secondary coil. Overall the components are assembled in one house in a metal canister. Sometimes canister filled with oil (lubricant) to help reduce the heat coil.

2. Molded Type
Molded coil type is the type commonly used now. In this type of iron core in the center surrounded by a primary coil, while the secondary coils are on the outside. Overall the components are assembled and then wrapped the resin (resin) to withstand the vibrations that are usually found in motorcycles. Type coil molded into a popular choice for the construction of resistant and strong. In multicylinder engine usually one coil serving two spark plugs because they have two high voltage wires from the secondary coil.

3. Integrated Ignition Coil Type With The Spark Plug Cap (Spark Plug)
This coil type is the most recent type and often referred to as the coil rod (stick coil). Large size and weight are smaller than the type of coil and molded most advantage of the coil does not require a high voltage cable.
