The invention concerns a device for connecting a mechanical, hydraulic and electric connector (1) equipping a heat engine fuel injector to the electromagnet driving the injector, said connector (1) being fixed to a body (2) enclosing the electromagnet and comprising two electric terminals (4) connected to the solenoid (S) of the electromagnet. Said electric terminals (4) are provided each with a pin (15) designed so that when the connector (1) is assembled to the body (2), each pin (15) co-operates with guide means (11, 14) contacting an end portion of the wire (12) of the solenoid (6), the assembling operation resulting in pulling off the insulation in at least one location of said end portion to set up an electrical connection between each terminal (4) and the solenoid (6).
A connection device for connecting a mechanical, hydraulic and electrical connector with which a combustion engine fuel injector is equipped, to an electromagnet that drives an injector, said connector being fixed to a body surrounding the electromagnet and comprising two electric terminals connected to a solenoid of the electromagnet, characterized in that said electric terminals are each equipped with a pin designed such that, while the connector is being assembled with the body, each pin collaborates with a guide means in contact with an end portion of the wire of the solenoid, wherein an assembly operation leads to insulation on said wire being stripped away from at least one spot of said end portion with a view to establishing an electrical connection between each terminal and the solenoid.
A connection device for connecting a mechanical, hydraulic and electrical connector with which a combustion engine fuel injector is equipped, to a electromagnet that drives an injector, said connector being fixed to a body surrounding the electromagnet and comprising two electric terminals connected to the solenoid of the electromagnet, characterized in that said electric terminals are each equipped with a pin in a form of a fork with two prongs of parallel appearance directed along an axis of assembly, each prong having a shape of a half arrowhead, a cross section of which decreases toward a free end, said prongs of said fork being symmetric with respect to a median longitudinal axis, said pin being designed such that, while the connector is being assembled with the body, each pin collaborates with a guide means in contact with an end portion of the wire of the solenoid, wherein an assembly operation leads to insulation on said wire being stripped away from at least one spot of said end portion establishing an electrical connection between each terminal and the solenoid.
