Dual Arc High Voltage Transformer Reliable Arc Lighter Igniter Module for Flameless Ignition

A dual arc high voltage transformer is the core ignition component inside modern arc lighters, camping stove igniters, and DIY plasma modules. Our Model 229 dual arc high voltage coil converts a low DC 3-5V input into two high-temperature electric arcs  in essence, a compact DC 3-5V arc generator in transformer form delivering instant, windproof, flameless ignition for daily, outdoor, and laboratory use. As a factory-direct manufacturer, we supply this arc lighter igniter module in bulk with fully customizable electrical and mechanical parameters, so you can build exactly the lighter or ignition system your product requires.

What Is a Dual Arc High Voltage Transformer?

A dual arc high voltage transformer (also called a dual arc ignition coil or arc lighter transformer) uses two independent high-voltage secondary windings. When powered by a 3-5V DC source, it generates two opposite electric arcs directly between its output terminals no ground electrode is required. The Model 229 produces a purple, high-temperature arc of up to roughly 0.8 cm, operates silently with no buzzing, and ignites paper, cigarettes, candles, and dry kindling almost instantly.

Key Applications

The 229 dual arc high voltage transformer is widely used in consumer, outdoor, and laboratory products:

Arc lighters: dual secondary windings create stable, crossing arcs for fast cigarette, cigar, and candle lighting.

Gas stove and camping stove igniters: compared with a single arc, dual arcs deliver stronger heat with a larger contact area for one-touch ignition; a dependable camping stove igniter module for outdoor cookers.

Outdoor gas appliances: wind-resistant flameless ignition that works reliably in breezy conditions.

Laboratory equipment: withstand-voltage testing and plasma discharge experiments.

DIY electronics kits: a ready-made plasma arc generator module for DIY projects; students and makers combine it with a PCB and a 3.7V battery to build working plasma lighters.

Why Choose Our 229 Dual Arc High Voltage Coil

Our products are manufactured with fully automated machinery. From winding to soldering, assembly, and testing, everything is formed in one integrated line:

Fully automatic production— automatic winding and fully automatic resin encapsulation (potting) ensure consistent quality at scale.

Strict multi-stage testing— winding coils are tested automatically by machine; parts are manually inspected before casing and again after de-casing.

Full parameter customization— input/output voltage, inductance, input/output wire length, and whether the copper wire is tinned can all be customized to your design.

Consistent, reliable quality— automation removes human variation and delivers a uniform arc lighter transformer batch after batch.

How to Use the 229 Arc Lighter Transformer

The 229 module works as a plug-and-play high voltage transformer for arc lighter builds:

1.Connect the input terminals to your drive circuit board (PCB) and a DC 3-5V battery — a 3.7V lithium-polymer battery is recommended.

2.If no high-voltage rectifier diode or capacitor is attached to the secondary output, the two output terminals generate a purple, high-temperature arc of roughly 0.8 cm.

3.Keep continuous power-on time under one minute per ignition and ensure proper heat dissipation.

4.The transformer is fully resin-encapsulated for improved safety and stable long-term operation.

FAQ

Q1. What is the difference between a single-arc and a dual-arc high voltage coil?

A1. A single-arc high voltage coil has one set of high-voltage secondary output and generates a single arc, with discharge occurring between one electrode and ground. It has a simple structure and low power consumption, and is widely used for single-pin ignition and unipolar negative-ion modules. A dual-arc high voltage coil has two independent high-voltage secondary outputs. Air breakdown occurs directly between the two high-voltage terminals to form two opposite arcs, with no ground electrode required. It delivers longer arc length and higher discharge energy, creating a larger plasma active area, and is commonly used in bipolar plasma generators, arc igniters, and ozone-generating equipment.

Q2. Can the Dual Arc High Voltage Transformer size be made smaller?

A2. Yes. The dimensions of our dual arc high voltage transformer are customizable. Tell us your target enclosure or PCB layout, and we will adjust the size accordingly.

Q3. What power source does this arc generator need?

A3. It needs a DC 3-5V input at about 3A, rated at 15W or higher. A 3.7V lithium-polymer battery is the recommended power source.

Q4. Is it safe to use?

A4. Yes. The module is fully resin-encapsulated for improved insulation and stable long-term operation. For safety, keep continuous power-on time under one minute per use and ensure heat dissipation.
