About the NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil Line
The NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil product line focuses on coil-on-plug ignition solutions that eliminate the need for traditional spark plug wires. This design improves ignition efficiency by delivering high voltage directly to the spark plug. The pencil-type coil is compact and fits directly onto the spark plug, making it suitable for modern distributorless ignition systems found in vehicles like the Hyundai Magentis, Kia Optima, Rondo, and Santa Fe.
Product Details and Compatibility
This ignition coil operates at 12 volts and is specifically designed for distributorless ignition systems, which are common in many Hyundai and Kia models. The blade terminal type with two terminals ensures a secure electrical connection, while the female connector and male terminal configuration provide proper fitment. The coil is not oil filled, which is typical for pencil-type ignition coils, and it does not include a mounting bracket, so installation will rely on existing vehicle hardware.

- Addresses rough idling and poor acceleration linked to ignition coil problems
- Helps restore proper ignition timing and spark delivery in distributorless systems
Installation Notes and Tips
- Ensure vehicle ignition is off and battery disconnected before installation
- Verify compatibility with your specific Hyundai or Kia model and engine type
- Handle the coil carefully to avoid damage to terminals and connectors
