Abstract

A packing between an insulator and a metal shell of a spark plug. A length between a first position of a contact portion of the packing and the insulator and a second position of a contact portion of the packing and the insulator parallel to an axial line direction is set as a first length. In the case where a load perpendicular to the axial line direction is applied to the second position, a ratio of stress at a surface position that is a position on a surface of the insulator to stress at the first position is set as a stress ratio. In a range of the surface position where the stress ratio is 0.8 or more to 1.15 or less, a length in a continuous range from the first position toward a front end side parallel to the axial line direction is set as a second length. A ratio of the second length to the first length is 0.7 or more.
