Abstract: A valve needle suitable for injection valves for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines. The new valve needle includes a tubular actuation part, an armature section and a valve sleeve section and is manufactured by injection moulding and subsequent sintered according to a metal injection moulding method. Subsequently, the actuation part is connected to a valve closing element section by means of a weld connection such that the valve needle is manufactured in a simple and cost-effective manner.

Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines has a fuel distributor device with at least one pipe connector in whose receptacle an injection valve is inserted by its inflow-side, upstream end. A connecting element serves for fixing the injection valve in position axially on the pipe connector of the fuel distributor device and also for fixing it in the circumferential direction. The connecting element, which is constructed as a plastic clip, includes a disc-shaped, circular ring-shaped base element with an inner opening through which the inflow-side end of the injection valve runs in the installed state, the disc-shaped base body being positioned in a circumferential groove of the injection valve. The base element includes two legs which can be closed or opened by means of a locking connection.

Abstract: A multiway connector comprising a support part and a cover part including plugs. The plugs with the first electrically conducting contact elements and electrical conductors are arranged on the support part. The two-part construction of the multiway connector permits a problem-free mounting of the electrical conductors in the vicinity of a support part front face, for example, in guide grooves of the support part. The construction of the multiway connector is particularly suitable for the joint electrical contacting of electrically operable fuel injection valves.

Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines has a fuel distributor which bears a plurality of connection pieces with radially projecting locking elements, and has a plurality of fuel injection valves, which are designed as so-called top-feed valves and are inserted fluid-tightly into the connection pieces. Provided to hold the fuel injection valves in the axial direction and to secure the fuel injection valves against rotation in the circumferential direction there is in each case a connecting member which engages in a circumferential groove in the valve casing and engages over the locking elements. In addition, the connection member has a fixing element which engages positively, at least in the circumferential direction, around a shaped element which is provided on the valve casing at a defined position.

Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines having a fuel distributor which bears a multiplicity of connecting pieces with radially protruding locking collars and a multiplicity of fuel injection valves constructed as so-called top-feed valves, said fuel injection valves being inserted liquid-tightly into the connecting piece. For the purpose of fixing each of the fuel injection valves in the axial direction as well as for securing the fuel injection valves against rotation in the circumferential direction, in each case a connecting element is provided which engages in an annular groove in the valve housing and engages over the locking collar. In addition, the connecting element has two fixing elements which engage in a positive-locking manner around, in each case, one of the molded elements at least in the circumferential direction, said molded elements being mounted in a defined position on the valve housing and on the connecting piece.

Abstract: A power strip including plug housings, in which first contact elements can be connected to second contact elements of an electrically actuatable unit. The electically actuatable units are movable with play in a mounted state relative to the power strip housing. In the power strip, one damping element is disposed between each plug housing and the power strip housing, and in engine operation this damping element damps the motions of the plug housing relative to the power strip housing or of the first electrically conductive contact elements relative to the second electrically conductive contact elements, and thus prevents excessive wear at the contact elements. The embodiment of the power strip is particularly suitable for supplying electrical power jointly to electrically actuatable fuel injection valves.
