Details on Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Iridium Product Line

The OE Fine Wire Double Iridium line from Bosch focuses on delivering spark plugs with fine wire electrodes made from iridium, a material known for its high melting point and wear resistance. This product line enhances ignition reliability and longevity compared to conventional plugs. The double iridium design on both center and ground electrodes reduces electrode wear and maintains a stable spark, which is critical for modern engines requiring precise ignition control.

Technical Description and Specifications

The Bosch 96311 spark plug features a copper core ground electrode combined with a platinum-iridium and nickel-yttrium tip, providing excellent conductivity and durability. The center electrode tip is made of iridium with a nickel-yttrium and copper core, ensuring consistent spark generation. The spark plug includes a 6000 ohm resistor to minimize electromagnetic interference with vehicle electronics. Its ceramic projected insulator improves heat management, while the flat seat and 14mm thread diameter ensure compatibility with specified vehicle engines. The pre-gap size of 1.1mm is optimized for efficient combustion in 4-cycle engines.
