A spark electrode will allow a good quality spark to jump from it’s electrode tip to the target, igniting the gas mixture in the process. Gasignition has hundreds of different models, each designed to suit the individual requirements of our customers appliance. There are 4 categories of spark electrode;
Electrode with Straight terminal
       
Electrode Angle terminal
       
Electrode with HT Connecting leads
       
Electrode with Multiple firing tips/targets/sensor
       
Spark electrodes are subject to very high heat sources, sometime in excess of 1000ºC, Gasignition has many years of experience in the selection of the right materials for the application. Each electrode comprises 4 basic elements

Electrode pin

 The pin head shape is designed to allow a good quality spark to exit the electrode and the materials provide a long life, avoiding deteriation through exposure to the gas mixtures and very high temperatures.

Ceramic insulator

 The ceramic material is chosen to suit the application size constraints while providing a robust electrical and heat insulator for the electrode pin.  Ceramics may also be glazed to provide a wipe clean, aesthetically pleasing finish for devices that will be seen by the end user.

Mounting bracket

The brackets function is to attach the spark electrode to the appliance. 
A choice of materials are available to suit the application requirements.

Connector

 The spark electrode may be fitted with a male connector to allow a HT lead to be easily connected, or the spark electrode can be provided with a HT lead pre-connected.
