Abstract
A spark plug for an internal combustion engine includes a center electrode, an insulator holding the center electrode inserted therein, a housing holding the insulator inserted therein, a ground electrode joined to the housing so as to form a spark discharge gap with the center electrode, and a stem electrically connected to the center electrode. The stem includes a stem body inserted and held inside the insulator and a terminal exposed from a proximal end of the insulator. The insulator includes a supported portion axially supported by the housing. A heat insulating member is interposed between the stem and the center electrode. A conductive member is disposed inside the insulator so as to pass through the heat insulating member for making electrical connection between the stem and the center electrode. The heat insulating member is located closer to a proximal side of the insulator than the supported portion is.
