To provide for reliable connection under conditions of extremes of shock and vibration, an axially acting contact spring is located between the movable electrode, typically connected to the wire, and the fixed electrode, then forming the connection in the distributor cap, the spring forming a current carrying contact element while exerting axially directed bias force; releasable holding means releasably, positively connect the cable and the socket of the distributor cap so that the spring can act as a resilient contact element. These releasable means may be either magnetic force means, a bayonet connection, a snap catch, or a collar fixed to the wire which is secured by a holder to the cap, the spring, in all instances, being interposed between the central connecting wire of the cable and the fixed terminal within the distributor cap.
