Fluid injection valve

A fluid injection valve (1) is disclosed. It comprises a valve body (10) having a central longitudinal axis (L) and defining a cavity (16). A valve needle (20) is arranged in the cavity (16), being axially displaceable in a first axial direction (D1) away from its closing position. The fluid injection valve (1) further comprises a pole piece (34) and an armature (36), the latter being axially displaceable with respect to the pole piece (34) and with respect to the valve needle (20). The valve needle (20) comprises a retainer element (24), which is operable to interact with the armature (36) to limit axial displacement of the armature (36) with respect to the valve needle (20) in the first axial direction (D1)and which is operable to contact the pole piece (34) for limiting axial displacement of the valve needle (20) in the first axial direction (D1).
