A conduit is disposed about an electrical wire electrically coupled to a transducer and a ferrule is disposed about an end portion of the conduit and fixed along an axial dimension of the conduit, the ferrule having a portion disposable in the retention space. A bushing has a portion disposed at least partially about the portion of the ferrule disposable in the retention space, the bushing formed of a soft material relative to a hardness of the ferrule and the housing, wherein the bushing is located between the retention flange and the ferrule and the retention flange captures the conduit relative to the housing when the portion of the bushing is disposed in the retention space.
