Abstract (en)

Apparatus is disclosed that is suitable for connecting first and second electrical connection points arranged at different angular orientations, for example in a fuel injector having a pressure sensor integrated into a cap nut. The apparatus comprises a generally cylindrical first body (118) having a first electrical connection point (B), a generally tubular second body (122) attachable to an end region (120) of the first body (118) and having a second electrical connection point (136), a first annular conductor (152) associated with the first body (118) and connected to the first connection point (B), and a second annular conductor (164) associated with the second body (122) and connected to the second connection point (136). The first and second connection points (B, 136) are located laterally from a common axis (A) of the first and second bodies (118, 122) and, when the second body (122) is attached to the first body (118), the first and second annular conductors (152, 164) are in electrical contact so as to connect the first connection point to the second connection point (136) irrespective of whether the first and second connection points are in alignment in a direction parallel to the common axis (A).
