Abstract: A fuel injector retention arrangement for connecting a fuel injector with a fuel rail comprises a fuel injector receiving cup having a fuel rail end in connection with a fuel rail and a fuel injector insertion end into which a fuel injector is insertable and connecting pins, the connecting pins being insertable into the receiving cup in such a manner, that a longitudinal axis of the connecting pins is situated in a first plane, which is oriented perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the receiving cup. The connecting pins are arranged in apertures of the receiving cup. A longitudinal axis of the apertures and the longitudinal axis of the connecting pins are aligned with each other. The apertures have an insertion end into which the connecting pins are insertable and a shoulder forming an axial stop for the connecting pins at a second end of the apertures. The apertures have a service opening which is arranged between the shoulder of the apertures and an outside surface of the receiving cup.

Abstract: A fuel injector assembly includes a valve housing, a valve stem that is disposed in the valve housing, a magnetic coil that surrounds the valve housing and is used to displace the valve stem within the valve housing, and a terminal blade. The terminal blade includes a bus bar that provides an electrical connection between the magnetic coil and an external connector. In addition, the terminal blade includes a clip that is connected to the bus bar at a clip first end and to the valve housing at a clip second end. The clip includes a sacrificial portion that is configured to part, for example by dissolving, when the terminal blade undergoes an overmolding process. As a result of the overmolding process, the clip is separated into multiple, spaced portions.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a fuel injector dust seal comprising: a sleeve arranged between a fuel injector and a fuel injector receiving aperture of a cylinder head, the sleeve defining a longitudinal axis with a first axial end and a second axial end; the sleeve further comprising: a first section, the first segment defining a first inner perimeter configured to be in contact with a first outer perimeter of a fuel injector and a first outer perimeter that is smaller than an inner perimeter of a first section of a fuel injector receiving aperture; and a second section, the second section defining a second inner perimeter that is bigger than an outer perimeter of a second outer perimeter of a fuel injector and a second outer perimeter configured to be in contact with an inner perimeter of a second segment of a fuel injector receiving aperture.

Abstract: A fuel injector for the injection of fuel, which includes a fuel supply element for supplying the fuel, a current bar which extends at least partially parallel to the fuel supply element, and an extrusion coat, which surrounds the fuel supply element and the current bar, the extrusion coat encompassing a longitudinal rib that extends in the axial direction of the fuel injector and is disposed on the fuel injector opposite the current bar.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an injector having an extrusion coating, including the following steps: providing an injection module, pushing a disk-shaped alignment element onto a part of the injection module, the alignment element having a slot in order to have sufficient flexibility, welding the alignment element onto the part of the injection module, at least part of the slot also being welded shut at the same time during the welding-on step in order to stiffen the alignment element, and molding the extrusion coating onto the injection module.

Abstract: A fuel injector which includes an actuator having an electrical contact element, a plug, a fuel supply pipe, and an injection-molded housing part.
