Ignition condensers prevent premature burn off of the breaker points (ignition contact set) as a result of sparking when the points open. Breaker-triggered coil ignition systems cannot function correctly without an ignition condenser. Provides for low-loss interruption of the primary current and suppresses most of the arcing between the contact points. Long recognized as an industry leader in ignition and fuel systems, Bosch's quality, innovation, and experience are the foundation of the entire line of engine management components.
