Iridium Power
Example: IK16With an Ultra-fine Iridium Alloy Center Electrode Employing a high melting point iridium alloy for the center electrode tip, a fine diameter of 0.4mm has been realized. This fine electrode has led to a lower spark voltage and a large increase in ignitability, which draws even more output and accelerator response from the engine. (Melting Point: Iridium: 2454º C, Platinum: 1769º C).
Iridium Long Life
Example: SK16R-P11, SK20R11, FK20HR11Developing the world’s pioneering 0.7mm dia. Ultra-fine Iridium alloy, ignitability, and lifetime are improved dramatically.
U-Groove
Example: W16EX-U- With a U-Groove ground electrode, large ignition energy can be obtained, easily igniting even lean mixtures.
- Because it is fully projected (2.5mm insulator projection), carbon fouling is reduced, and smooth starting and acceleration performance is realized.
Iridium TT
Example: 1W16TT- Iridium TT Twin-Tip Technology was developed from the Original Equipment Specification Super Ignition Plug (SIP) design, fusing our patented 0.4mm diameter Iridium- Rhodium alloy Center Electrode with an OE style 0.7mm Platinum Tip Ground Electrode.
- Combines the power and torque of a high-performance plug with the endurance of a long-life original equipment spark plug over 100,000 miles.
Platinum TT
Example: PW16TT- Platinum TT Twin-Tip Technology enables faster flame propagation for more complete combustion.
- 1.1mm PT Center Electrode with a Titanium-Enhanced Tip Ground Electrode.
- Improved Fuel Economy, better acceleration, and faster starts.
Single Platinum
Example: Q20PR-P11, K16PR-TP11- Only the center electrode is platinum tipped (1.1mm dia) which increases fuel consumption, drivability, and durability
- K16PR-TP11 has had the ground electrode taper cut, further increasing ignitability.
Extended Platinum
Example: PKJ20CR-L11By extending the spark position into the combustion chamber, the combustion efficiency is increased and fuel consumption and drivability are improved.
Dual Electrode Platinum
Example: PK20TR11- The parts of the center electrode facing the ground electrodes have been platinum tipped.
- The dual-electrode construction results in a lower required voltage during the plus (+) discharge.
Extended
Example: KJ20CR-L11- For Mazda and Mitsubishi Vehicles.KJ20CR11 has no U-groove. KJ20CR-U11 has a U-groove.
Semi-Surface Gap for Rotary Engines
Example: J16AR-U11- Employing a semi-surface gap discharge, ignitability, fouling resistance, and durability have been increased.
- Reduced voltage loss using a 7-rib design.
Extended
Example: KJ20CR11, KJ20CR-U11- Using a U-grooved ground electrode, a large ignition performance is obtained, allowing even lean mixtures to be ignited easily.
- The spark position is extended into the ignition chamber, improving combustion efficiency, fuel consumption, and drivability.

Example: KJ20CR-L11For Mazda and Mitsubishi Vehicles.KJ20CR11 has no U-groove. KJ20CR-U11 has a U-groove.
Iridium Long Life SIP (Super Ignition Plug)
Example: FK20HR11, FXE20HR11- Revolutionary DENSO Needle-to-Needle OE Technology
- Fine wire 0.55mm Iridium Alloy center electrode
- 0.7mm Platinum needle tipped ground electrode
- For exceptional performance and durability
Semi-Surface Gap
Example: W20EKR-S11, W20EPR-S11- Using a semi-surface discharge, ignitability and fouling resistance are increased.
- W20EKR-S11 are for Honda vehicles, while W20EPR-S11 are for Mitsubishi vehicles.
Semi-Surface Double Electrode
Example: W20ETR-S11- A double ground electrode with a 1mm gap is used and fouling resistance is improved.
- Using a short opposed-type dual ground electrode, excellent durability is obtained.
- Improved ignitability due to full projection.
- Used for Toyota and Daihatsu.
Shrouded Semi-Surface Gap Double Electrode
Example: K20DTR-S11, W20DTR-S11- In addition to a semi-surface gap construction, the end of the threaded portion has been extended into the combustion chamber, and a shroud has been attached to improve fouling resistance.
- Used for Daihatsu and Subaru.
Triple Electrode
Example: K22PB, W20EPB- Durability is increased with triple ground electrodes.
- For Audi, VW, Citroen, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, Renault.
Double Platinum for D.I.
Example: PK20R-P11To prevent wear during plus (+) discharge, the size of the platinum has been increased on the ground electrode.
