Distributor condenser 6/12 volts

For points ignition

High-quality condenser for distributor equipped with contact points. The condenser protects the contact points against excessive arcing and ensures a more powerful spark through rapid collapse of the magnetic field in the coil. Suitable for both 6 volt and 12 volt systems.

Application

Ontsteking contactpunten

Voltage

6 volt / 12 volt

Distributor type

IAD, IAT, IAY, IAU

Engine type

L-134 en F-134

Features

  • Suitable for 6 volt and 12 volt systems
  • Extends service life of contact points
  • Prevents arcing on contact surface
  • Ensures more powerful ignition
  • Replacement number: J3204585 / 3204585

★ A faulty condenser causes a weak spark and prevents the engine from starting. Always check that the condenser value matches your coil — an incorrect combination leads to excessive arcing and premature wear of points and condenser.

⚠ Important

  • Incorrect condenser value relative to the coil causes excessive arcing and wears both points and condenser
  • Contact points gap (dwell) incorrectly adjusted — gap too small = greater arcing load
  • Voltage too high — on a 6V system running at 7+ volts, the condenser is subjected to greater stress (incorrect dynamo regulator or 12V conversion on 6V components)
  • Poor primary wiring or distributor earth forces more current through the contact points

Installation notes

Check the condenser wiring for broken wires or damaged insulation. Ensure the condenser is securely mounted to the distributor for a good earth connection. Clean all connections on the terminals and tighten them securely.
