An electrical connector assembly of a fuel injector includes a body with external walls defining an internal volume and an internal wall dividing the connector in a first part adapted to be fixed in a complementary engagement with the body of the injector and, in a second part adapted to receive another electrical connector. The electrical connector assembly also includes at least one electrical terminal extending through the internal wall from an inner extremity protruding in the inner volume of the first part of the body, to an outer extremity protruding in the outer volume of the second part of the body. The outer extremity is shaped to receive in a complementary engagement an electrical terminal of said another electrical connector. The connector assembly is adapted to be in fluid communication with the back leak return conduit of the injector.

Connector assembly for a fuel injector

A flat electrical terminal is produced from a metal plate having a terminal thickness and of which one end is delimited by a first edge at the center of which a slot opens, extending along a main axis and allowing the complementary insertion and electrical connection of another flat terminal electrically connected to a device. The two opposing sides of the slot are provided with protuberances, each extending towards the opposite side such that the other terminal is designed to be in contact with the tops of the protuberances.
