Abstract: The invention relates to a connector (3) for connecting a flow pipe leading to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle to a feed pump. Said connector comprises an elbowed connecting sleeve (7) which can be rotationally fixed in various angular positions in a receiver (6). Said connecting sleeve (7) is positively fixed in the receiver (6) by a catch means (9). In this way, the forces acting on the flow pipe are kept at a distance from a seal pertaining to the connecting sleeve (7).

Abstract: A suppressor for a device for connecting an electric motor has a varistor and a capacitor connected in parallel for providing suppression for the electric motor. The suppressor has particularly small dimensions compared with a capacitor exhibiting a comparable suppression strength. For the purposes of providing suppression for electric motors used for fuel pumps, the dimensions of the suppressor are fundamentally independent of its power and the level of design complexity required for mounting suppressors on the electric motor with a different power is particularly low.
