Definition
分电器 (fēn diàn qì) is a technical term for the 'distributor' in an internal combustion engine — the component that routes high-voltage pulses from the ignition coil to the correct spark plug at the right time. This is a specialized mechanical/automotive term, not a general-purpose word. You're unlikely to encounter it outside of car repair manuals or engineering contexts.
