Champion Copper Plus RN5C Spark Plug

Champion Copper Plus 123 is a resistor spark plug built for dependable ignition performance in a wide range of classic cars and small-engine applications. Its copper core electrode improves conductivity and heat control, while the nickel center and ground electrode materials support consistent wear characteristics.

For buyers searching for a Champion 123 spark plug or an RN5C replacement, this plug is a direct match for many vintage Honda, Chevrolet, Nissan, Bentley, Volkswagen, and Lamborghini applications. It is also listed for vehicles such as the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and Nissan 510.

Key Features

  • Copper core electrode for improved conductivity and heat management
  • Nickel center electrode tip and nickel ground electrode core material
  • Resistor type spark plug for noise suppression in applicable systems
  • Flat seat design with a removable nut terminal
  • Pre-gapped at 0.025 in / 0.64 mm
  • Champion Copper Plus small engine classification
  • Part number 123, plug type RN5C

Product Details

Champion Copper Plus 123 is engineered around a copper-core design that helps carry current efficiently and manage combustion heat. The nickel electrode construction supports steady spark delivery and normal wear in secondary ignition systems. With a 14 mm thread diameter, 0.75 in reach, 0.813 in hex size, and flat seat, this RN5C spark plug matches the dimensional requirements called out in the fitment data. The part number 123 is commonly searched alongside RN5C and Copper Plus when replacing older ignition components.

This part cross-references Champion Spark Plug 406 and Autolite 405 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Hard starting caused by worn or inconsistent spark plugs
  • Misfire conditions from degraded electrode surfaces
  • Rough idle in older ignition systems
  • Reduced spark efficiency from heat-related plug wear
  • Service replacement needs for RN5C-spec applications
