Abstract
A fuel injector module for an internal combustion engine having two banks of cylinders includes a longitudinally extending central portion with opposing sides, at least two branches extending laterally from one of the opposing sides, and at least two more branches extending laterally from the other of the opposing sides. Each of the branches includes an injector receptacle for housing a fuel injector that injects fuel into a respective cylinder. Each of the branches also includes an electrical connector adjacent the injector receptacle for providing electrical power to the fuel injector. Preferably, each of the electrical connectors includes a pogo-pin electrically coupled to the fuel injector.
