Abstract:
1. An internal combustion engine comprising; a rocker housing, at least one of an ignition and a fuel injector device supported on said rocker housing and having at least one electrical terminal, an electrical module supported by said rocker housing for distributing an electrical signal to said terminal and including a self-supporting frame with ribbons of electrically conductive material disposed on said frame and a plurality of terminal connectors separate from and movable relative to said frame, said ribbons extending from said frame in a continuous manner to form elastically deformable support portions electrically coupling said connectors to said frame, said elastically deformable support portions supporting said connectors in a predetermined spatial position relative to said frame and enabling said connectors to be displaced out of said spatial position in response to application of a force causing elastic deformation of said support portions for connecting said connectors to said terminal, and enabling a return of said connectors to said spatial position in response to a removal of said force.
