Abstract
A bracket for mounting a transistor device and trigger coil of a breakerless ignition system between the induction coil and one of the leg portions of an A-shaped armature core. The bracket includes a hollow housing for receiving the transistor and trigger coil which are secured therein by means of an epoxy potting material. A pair of spaced guide surfaces integrally formed in the housing provide a guideway for slidably receiving the armature leg. A resilient arm member projects from the housing and includes a hooked portion which snaps into a locked position when the bracket is slid onto the armature leg to hold the bracket in place. A pair of resilient, spaced apart wing members also project from the housing to engage the induction coil to prevent vibration of the bracket between the induction coil and armature, and a third resilient wing member projects from one of the guide surfaces to engage the armature leg and prevent vibration of the bracket between the guide surfaces.
