1. An ignition coil for an internal combustion engine comprising:

  • a coil body formed by accommodating a primary coil and a secondary coil within a body case having an insulating property;

    a high-voltage tower formed by disposing a high-voltage output terminal that is electrically connected to the secondary coil as well as projecting from the coil body towards a tip side of the coil body inside the high-voltage tower; and

    a wire-wound resistor constituting at least a part of a conductive path from the high-voltage output terminal to a spark plug;

    wherein,the wire-wound resistor includes an insulating core material, a conductor winding wound spirally on an outer periphery of the core material, a pair of metal caps disposed at both ends in an axial direction of the core material, the pair of metal caps contacting with the conductor winding, and a resin coating material disposed so as to be in close contact with the core material and the conductor winding;

    the resin coating material is filled between the conductive winding in the axial direction and the resin coating material is formed to cover the conductor winding from an outer peripheral side of the conductor winding;

    the metal cap includes a bottom portion that faces the core material in the axial direction, and a cylindrical side portion protruding from an outer peripheral edge of the bottom portion in the axial direction; and

    an inner peripheral side of the side portion is provided with ridges projecting internally formed along a direction crossing a winding direction of the conductor winding.
