Abstract

This disclosure relates to a pre-chamber spark plug including a housing, a ground electrode, a cap enclosing a pre-chamber, and a center electrode inside the pre-chamber, with transfer passages being formed in the cap. Center axes of the transfer passages diverge from a longitudinal direction of the main combustion chamber. A method of manufacturing such a pre-chamber spark plug is also disclosed. The method includes generating a housing, generating a ground electrode, and generating a cap enclosing a pre-chamber and having transfer passages formed in the cap. The method may further include generating a center electrode inside the pre-chamber, such that center axes of the transfer passages diverge from a longitudinal direction of the main combustion chamber. The method further includes generating the cap by a forming process from a raw material wire or from raw material bars. The method may further include compacting a material forming the cap.
