Wiring

To connect a spark generator to a spark electrode, a special wire is required called a HT
(High Tension) wire. Since the spark generator will usually output a voltage pulse with a minimum potential of 14,000 V, the wire needs to be capable of carrying this potential to the spark electrode without leaking out through the insulation.

Wire sizes	7/0.2 0.22 mm² AWG 24 7/0.25 0.34 mm² AWG 22
Wire material	Bare copper Good for non-re-ignition systems & low temperature applications. Copper tin plated Good for crimp connections in low temperature applications. Copper zinc plated Good for crimp connections in medium temperature applications. Copper nickel plated Good for crimp connections in high temperature applications.
Insulation material	MFA Low cost and robust insulating material. PFA Properties similar to PTFE. PTFE Very good electrical properties, good strength & good in high temperature applications.
Connectors	2.8 x 0.5 / 2.8 x 0.8 crimp receptacle Brass / brass tin plated / brass zinc plated / brass nickel plated Low insertion force / standard insertion force
