Fuel injection assembly for a combustion engine

A fuel injection assembly (I) for a combustion engine having a central longitudinal axis (LA) is disclosed. The fuel injection assembly (I) comprises an injector body (IB), an injector cup (IC), which radially encloses an axial end of the injector body (IB), a spring clip (SC), which mechanically couples the injector cup (IC) with the injector body (IB). The spring clip (SC) comprises a ground plate (GP) with a main extension plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (LA), a recess extending inwards from one lateral end of the ground plate (GP) from an opening (A) to a bottom part (B), the bottom part (B), in top view on the main extension plane, having a contour (C) shaped as a circle segment which extends over an angle (±) between 270° to 180°, and at least one spring element (SE) fixedly coupled with the ground plate (GP). The spring element (SE) of the spring clip (SC) has a contact region (CS1) with the injector cup (IC) and the ground plate (GP) has a contact region (CS2) with the injector body (IB), so that the spring element (SE) is operable to exert a spring force on the injector cup (IC). The spring clip (SC) is snap-fixed with the injector body (IB) by means of the bottom part of the recess. The injector cup (IC) has a cutout (O) and the ground plate (GP) of the spring clip (SC) extends into the cutout (O) of the injector cup (IC).
