Abstract:
A fuel injector includes an injection control valve having a stator core that is electrically isolated from surrounding parts such as a stator housing. The stator core includes a first annulated wall having an inner surface, a second annulated wall having an outer surface, a radially extending wall connecting the first and second annulated wall, and a radially extending slot extending through the first annulated wall, the radially extending wall, and the second annulated wall. The stator core may include a limited number of contact points with the stator housing. Alternatively or additionally, an electrically insulating material may be placed between the stator core and the stator housing.
