Abstract
A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine includes a first injection valve having a first valve element that can be displaced in an axial direction and a first actuating device located axially downstream from the first injection valve to actuate the first injection valve. The fuel injector also has at least one second injection valve with a valve element that can be axially displaced and a second actuating device to actuate the second injection valve. The second actuating device is mounted axially downstream from the first actuating device in the valve housing, and the second actuating device to actuate the second injection valve is coupled to the latter by an actuating element, in the form of a cage-like arrangement, mounted in the valve housing in such a way that it can be displaced axially and bypasses the first actuating device.
