The ignition coil is a component in the ignition system of a car. Its primary function is to transform the low voltage from the battery into the high voltage needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine’s combustion chamber. This high voltage is then sent to the spark plugs, creating a spark that ignites the fuel and initiates the combustion process.

Key features of a typical ignition coil include:

Casing: The ignition coil is often encased in a durable material to protect it from environmental elements and to insulate it from the high voltages it produces.

Primary and Secondary Windings: The coil has primary and secondary windings, and when the primary winding is energized, it induces a high voltage in the secondary winding.

Connector Ends: The ignition coil typically has connector ends that facilitate easy and secure connections to the vehicle’s electrical system.

Mounting Points: It may have mounting points or brackets to secure it in place within the engine compartment.

OEM Standards: Genuine ignition coils from Mercedes-Benz are designed to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, ensuring compatibility and performance with the specific vehicle model.
