An end effector assembly includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member. The first and second jaw members are operably movable relative to one another between an open position and a clamped position. The first and second jaw members each include an electrically conductive plate. The electrically conductive plates of the first and second jaw members oppose each other and are configured to conduct energy through tissue clamped therebetween. The first jaw member further includes an insulative spacer having a rib and a conductive strip. The rip extends from a surface of the insulative spacer towards the electrically conductive plate. The conductive strip is integrally formed on a surface of the rib to contact the electrically conductive plate. The conductive strip is configured to transmit an electrical potential to the electrically conductive plate.
