Fastening element and fluid injector assembly

A fluid injector assembly comprising:

• a fluid injector cup with a protrusion,
• a fluid injector with a housing having a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and
• a fastening element comprising:
• a carrier,
• a first pair of prongs branching off a first side face of the carrier in mechanical engagement with the protrusion of the fluid injector cup,
• a second pair of prongs branching off a second side face of the carrier retaining the fluid injector and coupled mechanically to the first protrusion of the fluid injector,
• a pair of pins branching off a respective prong from the second pair of prongs at a respective inner side face of the respective prong such that the pins are arranged opposed to each other and a given distance from each other and in mechanical engagement with the fluid injector, and
• a clamping device being designed to couple mechanically with the fluid injector cup and to exert a repelling force on the fluid injector cup.
