Abstract
Abstract In an ignition distributor of a contactless controlled coil ignition system the stationary elements (16-21) of a Hall transducer are undetachably integrated in the distributor casing (10,30) or in a carrier plate (40). A plug connector casing (25,35) consisting of insulating material and providing with connector prongs (24) is spaced radially from the distributor casing (10,30) or from the carrier plate (40). The integration of the stationary elements of the Hall transducer and of the plug connector casing makes possible a construction of the ignition distributor that is compact and favorable for manufacturing technology.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A contactless control structure at least partly built into the distributor of the ignition system of an internal combustion engine, said structure including a Hall transducer having a pulse-inducing wheel and also stationary parts, comprising the improvement which consists in that: all the stationary elements of the Hall transducer are directly integrated without any supplementary casing into the distributor casing; a connector (24, 25, 35) for external connections to the Hall transducer is affixed to the distributor casing (10, 30); the stationary elements of said Hall transducer comprise two magnetically conducting pieces of magnetically soft material, a permanent magnet, a Hall-IC mounted on a ceramic carrier and connection pieces; said permanent magnet (17) and one of said magneticcally conducting pieces (16) are directly integrated in the distributor casing; the other magnetically conducting piece (18) said ceramic carrier (19) with said Hall-IC and said connection pieces (21) are insulatingly case within the distributor casing, and said connector (25, 35) for external connections has a plurality of connector prongs (24), each of which is undetachably connected to an individual line of said connection pieces (21).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A contactless control structure as defined in claim 1 in which the body on which said connector (25) is affixed, as well as said connector (25) are made of insulating material and both are both of one piece.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A contactless control structure as defined in claim 1 in which several connector prongs (24) are provided within said connector (25) in a manner suitable for coupling said prongs with the respective connector bushings of a movable complementary connector unit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A contactless control structure as defined in claim 1 in which said connector (25, 35) is spaced radially outwards from said distributor casing (10, 30, 40) and is connected therewith.
