A fuel injector assembly includes a valve housing, a valve stem that is disposed in the valve housing, a magnetic coil that surrounds the valve housing and is used to displace the valve stem within the valve housing, and a terminal blade. The terminal blade includes a bus bar that provides an electrical connection between the magnetic coil and an external connector. In addition, the terminal blade includes a clip that is connected to the bus bar at a clip first end and to the valve housing at a clip second end. The clip includes a sacrificial portion that is configured to part, for example by dissolving, when the terminal blade undergoes an overmolding process. As a result of the overmolding process, the clip is separated into multiple, spaced portions.
