A connector assembly (10) for connection to a high temperature conductor (2) comprises a metallic retention member (12) welded to the metallic jacket of the conductor (2). The retention member (12) comprising an anti-rotation section (82) cooperable with an outer shell (20) of the connector assembly to securely hold and prevent rotation of wires (6) of the conductor (2) making electrical contact with each other or the metallic jacket (4). The provision of the retention member (12) cooperating with the connector housing shell (25) ensures that a reliable, rigid and sealed connection is provided between the high temperature conductor (2) and a complementary connector (56). The anti-rotation section (82) can be formed with a hexagonal profile to be fitted into a complementary recess of the outer shell (25) to provide the anti-rotation feature.

Connector assembly for metal-jacketed lambda probe conductor

A circular sensor connector has terminals to make contact between an internal printed circuit board and conducting wires. In order to obtain a cost effective and compact configuration, the plurality of identical terminals are disposed in a radial manner around the printed circuit board whereby contact arms having an arcuate contact profile, project towards the printed circuit board and make contact therewith.
