FUEL INJECTOR WITH A DEEP-DRAWN THIN SHELL CONNECTOR MEMBER AND METHOD OF CONNECTING COMPONENTS

摘要

A fuel injector has a housing extending along a longitudinal axis between an inlet and an outlet. The housing has an elongated member connected to a body by a thin shell connector member with a stepped portion. The connector member has a generally constant thickness with a first internal volume and a second internal volume where the second internal volume is at least 1.1 times the first internal volume.
