Patent ID: 7770824

Claim:
A fuel injector for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, the fuel injector comprising, an injector body having an injector axis; at least one electrically triggerable valve, let into the injector body, the at least one electrically triggerable valve having at least one electrical valve contact, at least one electrical injector body contact accessible from an outside of the injector body, at least one conductor conduit, at least one solid electrical conductor at least in part connecting the at least one electrical valve contact and the at least one electrical injector body contact, the at least one solid electrical conductor being substantially dimensionally stable under its own weight and extending through the at least one conductor conduit; the at least one conductor conduit, in at least one first region or module of the injector body, having an inclination to the injector axis that differs from at least one second region or module of the injector body, and at least one orientation sleeve engaging and imposing, a predetermined inclination to the injector axis entirely or in part on the at least one solid electrical conductor in at least one region or module to thereby orient the solid conductor, wherein the at least one orientation sleeve is disposed in the at least one conductor conduit in a first module, and the at least one orientation sleeve imposes essentially an inclination of the at least one solid electrical conductor in a conductor conduit in a second module, different from the first module, and thus aligns the at least one solid electrical conductor.
