1. A terminal blade for a header assembly comprising:
a first end defining a first axis and being partially coated with an anti-tarnish material and defining an adhesion region spaced from the anti-tarnish material coating;
a second end defining a second axis; and
a bridge extending between the first end and the second end such that the first axis is substantially perpendicular to the second axis, wherein the adhesion region is spaced from the anti-tarnish material such that silicone applied to the adhesion region does not contact the anti-tarnish material.
