spool and a secondary wire wound around the spool. The center core is
provided on an inner peripheral side of the secondary spool. The
connector is coupled with an end of the coil body. The connector has an
aligning part adapted for centering the center core. An end of the
secondary spool has a tubular shape adapted for engagement with an outer
periphery of the aligning part. The vent groove is provided to facing
surfaces of the aligning part and of the end of the second spool. The
vent groove is adapted for releasing gas around the center core to an
