ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a spark plug connector which includes an electrically insulating housing having a spark plug receptacle. A contact element for electrically connecting to the connecting tip of the spark plug is mounted in the spark plug receptacle. The contact element can be displaced by the connection tip of the spark plug against a restoring spring force. The spark plug connector of the invention can be cost effectively manufactured and provides a reliable electrical insert connection. To make the spark plug connector, the housing is made of an elastic material and a clip spring, which is embedded in the housing material, is provided as a contact element. The legs of the clip spring have respective segments in a contact plane lying perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle. These segments are accessible for establishing a contact and delimit the smallest diameter of the spark plug receptacle. When pushing the spark plug connector onto the spark plug, the legs of the spring clip latch with these contact segments into a backcut formed peripherally on the connecting tip of the spark plug.
