Detailed Features and Specifications
The Denso Iridium Power 5327 spark plug incorporates a fine iridium tip on the center electrode, which provides a stable and efficient spark while maintaining long service life. The copper core center electrode enhances thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate heat effectively. The ground electrode features a tapercut, u-groove design with a nickel core, which contributes to consistent spark exposure and improved ignition reliability. With a pre-gap size of 0.8 mm and a single ground electrode, this spark plug is optimized for precise ignition timing and combustion efficiency. The tapered seat type ensures a secure fit in the combustion chamber, while the 14.00 mm thread diameter and 18.00 mm reach match OEM specifications for compatible vehicles. The 16.0 mm hex size allows for straightforward installation using standard tools. The manufacturer heat range of 22 indicates suitability for specific engine operating conditions, balancing heat dissipation and fouling resistance. Additionally, the 5000 ohm resistance helps reduce electrical noise interference with vehicle electronics.
