Fuel injector
First Claim
1. A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- an injector body, a first actuator for controlling movement of a first valve needle for injecting a first fuel into a cylinder of the engine, and a second actuator for controlling movement of a second valve needle for injecting a second fuel into the cylinder, each of the actuators being axially spaced along a longitudinal axis of the injector body and each of the actuators comprising a respective elongate stem with each stem at least partially housing a conductive element for carrying current to the associated actuator, the injector further comprising an electrical connector module including first and second electrical connectors for connection with an associated one of the conductive elements, and wherein the electrical connector module is mounted between the first and second actuators along the longitudinal axis of the injector body.

Abstract
A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine includes an injector body, a first actuator for controlling movement of a first valve needle for injecting a first fuel into a cylinder of the engine, and a second actuator for controlling movement of a second valve needle for injecting a second fuel into the cylinder. Each of the actuators are axially spaced along a longitudinal axis of the injector body and has a respective conductive element for carrying current to the actuator, the injector further includes an electrical connector module which has first and second electrical connectors for connection with an associated one of the conductive elements for the actuators. The electrical connector module is mounted between the first and second actuators along the longitudinal axis of the injector body.
