The invention describes a nozzle (2) for a fuel injector (37) that comprises a simple damping element (1) for protecting a sealing connection between the needle (3) and the nozzle (2) from high pressure waves. The damping element (1) has the shape of a ring plate (1) that is positioned above an upper surface of the nozzle (2). The ring plate (1) is held against the upper surface of the nozzle (2) by a holding member (4). The holding member (4) has basically the shape of a sleeve and is used with a bellow (5) for tightly sealing off an actor chamber (38) from fuel.
