An electrical connector for connecting electric wiring to a mating connector of a fuel-rail-mounted electric-operated fuel injector. The connector and the fuel rail have integral formations that serve to assure circumferential orientation of the injector in a socket of the fuel rail and to axially capture the injector in the socket. A snap-catch mechanism releasably locks the connector to the injector and is provided by further integral formations on the wiring connector and the injector connector. In this way, extra attaching parts are not required. The fuel rail assembly has a lower profile which is advantageous from the standpoint of engine compartment packaging in an automotive vehicle.
