This website contains electronic components from the product range of VEC Ignitions. Magnetos are sources of electric energy in chain saws, lawn mowers, pumps, motorbikes, agricultural equipment, outboard engines and various other small combustion engines. The energy generated by magnetos is used to ignite the air-air-fuel mixtures and provide power for lighting.
There are two distinct types of magnetos: the ones using contacts and the contact-free ones. The magnetos with contacts consist of a flywheel with a magnet, a contact-breaker and an ignition coil. Contact-free magnetos either use flywheels with a magnet and an electronic ignition module, or they are made up of a flywheel with a magnet, an electronic ignition module, and an additional ignition coil.
An electronic ignition module contains the ignition electronics and the ignition coil. The module generates the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture.
The electronic ignition module with ignition coil performs the same function.
   Electronic ignition modules with ignition electronics package belong in the same category of contact-free magnetos like transistor/ thyristor ignition modules. Contact-free magnetos have specific advantages over contact-type magnetos.

1) They have no mechanical wear (see contact-breaker)
2) They function properly unaffected in a soiled or moist unaffected
3) They generate higher energy sparks in the spark plug
4) Fuel consumption is reduced
5) Pre-ignition maintains a constant angle
6) Ignition remains reliable under adverse conditions
7) Exhaust emission is reduced
8) Robust design makes for reliable function

   The ignition coil is designed to generate and feed a high voltage to the spark plug to enable to ignite. VEC assembles its products from top-quality components only. Based on their quality-optimised production, VEC Ignitions can confidently guarantee long-lasting and reliable function of their products.
This website provides a survey of the most common electronic ignition modules, ignition coils and ignition electronic components. Other magnetos can readily be manufactured according to customer specifications.
